Music video

Mark Wills' music video, directed by Peter Zavadil and shown in black-and-white, features Wills inside a train station. The video ends with his love coming in the doors, and he gives her an engagement ring. The music video for the 98 Degrees version features the members of the band separately dating a woman played by Ali Landry. At the end of the video, she marries a man played by Dustin Diamond, much to the chagrin of the four band members.
