The music video was released on VHS, Laserdisc, VCD (Asia only) and later DVD. It includes the first showing of the video to "Oh Father" (1989) which is not included on the audio release and had not been a single in some countries.

The video sold 50,000 copies in its debut week and by the end of the year, had sold a 100,000 copies. After Nielsen Soundscan started tracking sales from March 1991, the video sold another 291,000 copies, for a total of 391,000 copies across United States.[4]
