Music video

In the music video, Rob Pilatus meets a woman and gets her phone number. Later that day, as he is preparing to call her, Fab Morvan enters the apartment, and a slight breeze blows the sheet of paper with the phone number out the window. The paper is caught under the shoe of a man who enters a taxicab, leading the duo on a bicycle chase across London. Just as the taxicab drops the man off, the duo stops the man, but the paper is gone. Then the duo realize they are in front of the woman's home.
