Liz Friedlander directed the single's accompanying music video. It depicts McPhee recording herself while performing the song; she delivers the file to her unfaithful boyfriend at a basement party. McPhee said her clothing and performance were intended to reflect the different emotions of the song: "There's different looks to show the different levels of being over it. There's the mad over it, the sad over it, the vengeful over it." Two endings were filmed for the music video, one where she gives her boyfriend the tape and breaks up with him and another where she gives him a second chance. McPhee said that her fans would pick the ending for the official release.[8] The first was chosen as the official ending,[27] though the alternative was also uploaded on McPhee's Vevo channel.[28]
