Music video

The music video for "When It All Falls Apart" features The Veronicas waking up in their home to a party they had the night before. While cleaning they have flashbacks of the party to show their house got trashed, having a crocodile going around the house. At the end of their video they sit outside and sing the rest of their song. It appears like they're sitting in Director chairs outside their house in the end.

Cover

Eiza González a.k.a. "Lola" (for her role in the Mexican soap opera Lola...Érase una vez, or Lola...Once Upon a Time) is a Mexican singer/actress who made a cover in Spanish of this song called "Lo Que No Fue No Será" ("What Wasn't Will Not To Be") for the soundtrack of the Mexican soap opera Lola... Érase una vez. The Spanish translation is the same as the original title.
