Music video

The music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on May 4, 2011. The entire 11-minute music video was shot in the Stade de France, during half-time of the football match between France and Croatia,[4] with the participation of many of the 80,000 fans in the stadium. In the video, Solveig comes into the stadium with a majorette, sings on the tape "Ready 2 Go", then begins to dance. Later, he runs around the stadium and fans in the stands brandish square papers of different colors to form the words "Ready to Go".[5]
