Music video

The band shot the video for the song on December 3, 2009 with Alan Ferguson. On December 4, guitarist Ryan Ross Hernandez stated via Twitter that they had finished shooting the video, editing will take place in the next couple days, and the video will be released on MTV on December 31st.

The video also includes Ryan Ross Hernandez' touring drummer Spencer Walker, and Breaking Dawn at Sunset's bassist Patrick Lewis.

Ashley Perry said in a press statement: - "It is my time to say that we haven't done a video like this before, a video dedicated to our fans. The whole band isn't performing, just one member is (and no it's neither Ryan or me). It's like half performing, half party, half acting, it's gonna be a huge cliffhanger for our fans. We shoot in the only place in the country where is isn't cold, Miami, Florida."

A fifteen-second teaser was posted on December 22, on the band's website, featuring the band (except for Hernandez) sitting around on a table talking, sharing stories and laughing amongst themselves. As the camera pans out it shows the band is on a boat, revealing Ryan Ross Hernandez leaning on the rail of the boat tossing pictures into the sea.
