Paparizou announced on her Twitter that she was meeting with video director Konstantinos Rigos to discuss a music video for the single.[5] The filming of the music video took place on 4 March at the Astir Palace hotel and lasted 16 hours.[6] Paparizou then posted photos from the video on her Twitter, asking fans for their critiques.[7] The music video is mostly in black and white, and features model Dimitris Alexandrou as her love interest. It was nominated for Sexiest Appearance in a Video, as well as contributing to nominations for Female Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year at the MAD Video Music Awards 2010.
