Music video

The video features Jesse following a lady, along with clips of him in the recording studio with his band. In the end, the video features both of them driving cars at the same time with them smiling at each other, hinting a mutual attraction to each other. The video was directed by Big TV,[2] and received heavy rotation on MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel. However, Disney Channel removed the scenes with Jesse and the lady, and instead aired two versions that features Jesse in the recording studio with his band. The first version features Return to Halloweentown clips and the second version aired without the movie clips. The first version was heavily played on the channel in 2006, as it was the theme song of Return To Halloweentown, and it promoted both the movie and the song on Radio Disney, making stay on its Top 30 countdown throughout 2006. The second version can only be seen on Disney.com.
