Music video

The video for "Angel in the Night" follows on from the previous music video, "All I Ever Wanted" . Aylar Lie is now working in a cafe and breaks up with her boyfriend, Lucas, sending a text message explaining that she knows he's been cheating. Basshunter is eating at the cafe and hands Aylar a leaflet, inviting her to the street race he's taking part in. On race day it seems Aylar has another admirer, who happens to be the man Basshunter is racing against. Basshunter wins the race (in a custom Mazda RX-8). Later at night Aylar and her friends attend a party. Basshunter gets Aylar's attention by singing on stage and the pair kiss.

The video was shot in Oslo, and the racing scenes were shot at a container loading dock. .^{[3][4] [5]}
