Music video

Godsmack started working on the video with director Troy Smith in Portland, Maine, on September 10, 2001 and planned to finish the outdoor shots the next day and the arena shots at a concert, but the events of September 11 put a halt to the band's plans. The video was set to feature the band playing at a cookout in front of a handful of apathetic crowd members and one Godsmack fanatic, who tries to rally the rest of the audience. As the enthused fan watches the performance, he imagines the band performing in huge arenas. The live performance segments were delayed when the band's shows were cancelled after September 11.[1]

Trivia

The song is featured in the 2002 compilation Wired-up.
