Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "It's a Beautiful Day" was first released onto YouTube on March 25, 2013 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-one seconds. It was filmed on Colonial Street, the same street that appeared as Wisteria Lane in the series Desperate Housewives. Actress Jaime Pressly plays Bublé's unfaithful girlfriend in the video. The video begins with Bublé catching his partner cheating on him in a house. Afterwards, Bublé calmly walks out of the house and starts performing the song while he walks down the street. While performing the song, he encounters many people, most of them being women who appear to be expressing romantic interest on Bublé, while his partner watches him from the window with discomfort. At the end of the video, Bublé is seen in front of an exploding house. The video includes a few computer-generated images such as an animated bird perching on Bublé's finger and clouds with various animal shapes. As of July 2024, the music video has 66 million views on YouTube.{{Citation |title=Michael Bublé - It's A Beautiful Day [Official Music Video] | date=25 March 2013 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYxuGQMCuU |access-date=2022-01-13 |language=en-GB}}
