Music video[edit]

The music video for "Never Too Late" premiered in early April 2008,[3] on MuchMusic. The video was shot in Barbados and is close to a shot-for-shot remake/parody of the music video that Duran Duran filmed for their 1982 single, "Rio".[4] Hoggard spoke about the music video.

"We made it identical to Duran Duran's 'Rio'. To the best of our abilities, we made it identical. That was really important for us, to do it justice and not just kind of cop it out. If we were going to do it, we wanted to make sure that we did it. So we were so happy. That's kind of one of the points of my, if you want to call it a career, where I was like, 'Wow, I really feel like I did something cool there.'"[4]
