The music video portrays Garbi's struggle to rid herself of her memories, thereby she drives a car through a tall stack of forty-five televisions each displaying a different recollection from her memory. As a result of the collision the televisions crash to the ground. The video clip produced a marked contrast with the lyrics that speak about emotions of frustration, anger, tiredness and regret, while the video portrays a more rigid and self-confident Garbi.
