A music video by Aaron A was made for the single and features a split screen that shows both Shiloh and another girl as they walk down in the same direction.

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic praised the song as being a highlight amongst the album's singles, considering it to be the "most impressive, skipping along to a ska rhythm during the verse before bursting into the chorus.

Then it shows a split screen of Shiloh in the left and a girl in the right wearing a yellow dress with a dog in her handbag, talking on her cell phone.

The other girl has many unfortunate things happen to her–her cell phone's stolen; she spills her drink all over herself; her dog escapes from her handbag; she gets her sunglasses caught in her hair; and she gets dirty water thrown on her.

[6] Shiloh made her television debut performing "Operator (A Girl Like Me)" at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards on June 21, 2009.
