Music video

Directed by Cameron Casey (who also directed the videos for "If Ya Gettin' Down" and "Keep On Movin'"), produced by Andy Leahy and Richard Fenton, and inspired by the 1999 movie The Matrix, the video begins with binary code on a computer screen. A computerised voice says "OK, I'm in. Five, you're mine." Three members of the band, Ritchie Neville, Sean Conlon and Abs Breen, sit in a room looking at a laptop when Scott Robinson comes in and says "Lads? The freak is officially...back.", and dumps a big pile of fanmail on the table. An obsessive female fan appears to have been constantly sending Five emails and letters, hoping to meet them, so they decide to go to the girl's address in their Range Rover. They pull up at a mansion and they look round. Jason "J" Brown touches a large graphic and gets sucked into the girl's computer. While the girl is on the computer, she watches the faces of each member of the band. The sparks come through, and she gasps when she attempts escape. Several minutes later, she runs down the stairs, enters a different office and discovers Sean's head inside a refrigerator, subsequently screaming in terror. When Five dance in the hallway, she runs back into the same office and answers the telephone to a disturbing voice. The sparks and electricity crashes on the computer and she runs out while screaming. After Abs, Scott, Ritchie, and Sean regroup, Abs says, "So, lads, we've had enough. No more games." Ritchie concurs, "Let's get J back". The members turn invisible and she closes her eyes and screams again. Following that, J reemerges, then goes on to rejoin the rest of the band. The members dance and the Five logo comes up. At the final scene, the lightning strikes the mansion and she runs away while screaming. As the video fades to black, her intense scream can be heard at the end.

According to Brown, he got a severe mental breakdown during the production of the video after frequent insomnia.
