The music video premiered on 31 October 2008 on the German music show VIVA Live.[1]

The video was written and directed by Bastien Francois, and was shot at the Cinegate studio in Berlin, Germany.[2] It depicts Lafee as an action heroine,[3] in which much of the scenes and costumes were based on costumes worn by Catherine Deane, played by Jennifer Lopez in The Cell and several other various action film characters such as Moon in Hero and Yu Shu-lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.[4]
