Music video

The music video begins with Shanice's love interest (played by Will Lemay) walking a white horse along a foggy road. The video switches between scenes with Shanice and her backup dancers, a pink room with Shanice in a white dress, and her sitting at the end of a long black pool with water. There is also a scene where Shanice and her love interest kiss and they ride the horse. In the end, Shanice, who is in her car, meets him in front of a store.
