Music video

The music video was directed by Max & Dania.

There are two Craig Davids in this video. The first one shown is the slick, ladies man. The other one is humble, trustworthy, and spends time with his parents and only admires one girl. They both go to a club, where the first Craig is hitting on all the girls, while the other Craig is with his one and only girl. Towards the end, the first Craig tries to hit on the other Craig's girlfriend, but the other Craig brushes him off and wins back his girlfriend.
