Music video

[edit]

Directed by Rocky Schenck, the video begins with McIntyre (along with a gospel choir) recording the song in a recording studio. It later cuts to scenes of McIntyre singing on the Belmont Ave. pedestrian bridge over the 101 freeway near Silver Lake and Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, in a tree while looking over the said highway and on the roof of a house. McIntyre also sees a birthday being held while singing from afar.
