Music video
The music video took place in a Middle Eastern setting. It showed the girls wearing harem-like costumes and dancing in a very provocative style. According to MTV News, this new "sexed-up" style was not welcomed by the group and was one of the factors that led to their break-up.[https://web.archive.org/web/20221006213606/https://www.mtv.com/news/8xs4r8/where-ya-been-dream-wake-up-sex-burns-marcy-playground Where Ya Been?
