Directed by Chris Stokes (who previously directed the video for "O"),^[1] the video shows Omarion in his car waiting outside his ex-girlfriend's house. He reminisces about the times they spent together and how on two occasions of looking at another woman and answering his cell phone while making out irritated her and left him. He spots his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend (who resembles Omarion) as they enter her house. Omarion exits his car to enter her house and the video ends with "to be continued...".
