Music video

A music video was made for the single and was uploaded to YouTube on 4 May 2011.[1] The video features a Tanya running from two thugs and is given a ride by Loick who rescues her from the two men and rides away with him losing them. The video cuts to a part where Loick runs into his apartment and grabs some things with the two men from before pursuing him. Loick jumps out of the window and meets Tanya outside. The thugs find that they are escaping and rush to the car to chase them. The two are trapped when they run into a blocked road alley and the thugs quickly catch them. However, when the two take their helmets off, the two are revealed to be look alikes who pretended to be Loick and Tanya; the two men find out that they have been tricked and the video cuts back to the motorbike scene where Loick and Tanya give their motorbike to the look alikes. The video then ends with Loick and Tanya walking away happily.
