Music video

In addition to Aaron Carter, his older brother Nick Carter makes a cameo by saying goodbye to Aaron at the beginning of the video. The video also plays in a park where a talent competition takes place. As a spectator of the event, Aaron falls in love with a girl. He also meets them when he plays basketball in the same park the following day. Even at the football game after he is not spared by her. Inspired by the will to make an appointment with her, he uses the opportunity towards the end of the video, asks her questions and in the end wins her heart.
