The video was conceived and directed by Jolyon Watkins (Exit Films, Australia) and was a finalist for music promo of the year of the 2002 Muzik Magazine awards.

The video begins with two bored girls (played by Dorman & Amiel Daemion herself) getting off a bus and looking for some fun, until they spot a black modified unoccupied 1974 Ford Falcon (XB) which resembles the iconic V8 Interceptor Pursuit Special from Mad Max parked next to a Bank of Australasia in Lancefield, Victoria.

The girls enjoy their joyride through the country roads until they are pursued by two Main Force Patrol (MFP) officers in a yellow interceptor that resembles to the ones used in the opening chase sequence in Mad Max.
