"Stuck" is a song by American singer-songwriter Stacie Orrico from her second album, Stacie Orrico. It was released in the United States on February 3, 2003. "Stuck" was a chart success worldwide, peaking at 52 in the US while reaching No. 3 in Australia, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. It additionally peaked at No. 9 in the United Kingdom and became a top-10 hit in several other European countries. The music video was directed by Diane Martel. The video shows her on and off relationship with her boyfriend during high school.

Music video

The music video was filmed in early 2003 and was directed by Diane Martel. The video stars Orrico's cousin, actor Trevor Wright.[1]

The video begins with Orrico's alarm clock waking her up and after she turns it off, she looks at a framed picture of her and her boyfriend (Trevor Wright), frowns at it and turns it over, letting it drop behind the nightstand as she puts her head back on her pillow. She gets out of her bed and walks to her mirror which is covered with pictures of her boyfriend, she then writes the word "stuck" in red lipstick on the mirror. She then gets on a school bus and sits in her seat, clearly in a bad mood. She then notices that her boyfriend is on the bus driving by and he waves to her and is blowing kisses to her. Orrico slides down her seat, using a notebook to block her view of him. Later, she stands in front of a chain-link fence and watches him play basketball with his friends. Another scene shows Orrico getting ready for a school dance, but when she arrives, she sees her boyfriend dancing with another girl and then leaves, just as her boyfriend notices her. When she gets off the bus, she quickly walks over to her boyfriend. Just as they approach each other, she walks away from him.
