Music video
The music video was rarely seen, although it was shown on both the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, and was not featured on any release. It shows Carter and her boyfriend throughout the video, in an animated scene with bright colors. It was directed by Gregory Dark.
In November 2006, according to Stylus, Carter never wanted to record her first album, but was pressured by her mother. Stylus reports that the video cost $350,000 to make.{{cite web |url=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/pop_playground/sugar-shock-006-screwed-the-lost-world-of-shelved-teenpop.htm |title=Sugar Shock #006: Screwed: The Lost World of Shelved Teenpop |author=Moore, David |date=November 8, 2006 |work=Stylus |publisher= |accessdate=August 12, 2012}}
