According to Amanda Hensel of PopCrush, Charice actually comes to terms with the soiled love affair pretty quickly, and vows to keep marching on because it’s the right thing to do.

Synopsis

On the video, Charice was shown singing by the window before it was swapped with an empty room where she continues singing. The room then goes back again to the first scene before shifting towards another room where she is seen being accompanied by two unknown dancers. As she sings the chorus, the scene changes to different location while on the line "feel that rhythm" the video vibrates as if imitating shock waves.
