Music video

The music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld and begins with Orianthi alone in her bedroom with a guitar for the opening lines of the song. The video then follows her to a photo shoot, a house party where her band is playing and two concerts, as well as a gray room where she is alone during her guitar solos. The video ends as a bookend of the beginning, with her alone again in her room as she plays guitar to herself.

A guitar arm is attached to the camera and is seen throughout the video and is being played by someone as if they are playing guitar hero. The video can be watched and played along to on GHTV section of Guitar Hero Live.
