[edit] History
A 25-second preview of the song was premiered on October 24, 2007 on simpleplan.com.[2] The full song was premiered on simpleplan.com on October 29, 2007. It was done so in conjunction with a webchat with the band members, who answered fan questions during the chat.
The song was made available on iTunes the same day and the album was available for preorder on lala.com the following day (with a download of the single immediately available).[3][4][5]
[edit] Music video
The band flew to Los Angeles on November 8 and filmed the video. It was filmed on Sunset Blvd. and then in a soundstage outside North Hollywood. Perez Hilton has filmed a cameo.[6]
A 40-second pre-production preview of the video was aired on TRL and added to Simple Plan's website on November 6, 2007.[7]
The video was premiered on MTV.com on December 10, 2007, and MuchMusic on December 11. Frank Borin and the band directed the video.
The music video has been available through the band on YouTube since December 13, 2007.
The music video is about a young woman driving around town and dealing with her (presumably recent) breakup with Bouvier. She hasn't gotten over him which makes her see him everywhere she goes. In the end, she calls Bouvier. Bouvier sees who is calling and ignores the call. Scenes with the band playing against a black backdrop are shown throughout the video.
