Music video

Filmed in early 2003 and directed by Diane Martel, the song "Stuck"'s music video shows Stacie Orrico's on-and-off relationship with her boyfriend during high school.

The video begins with Orrico's alarm clock waking her up and after she turns it off, she looks at a framed picture of her and her boyfriend (played by her cousin, actor Trevor Wright),^[2] frowns at it and turns it over, letting it drop behind the nightstand as she puts her head back on her pillow. She gets out of her bed, walks to her mirror which is covered with pictures of her boyfriend, and then writes the word "stuck" in red lipstick on the mirror. She then gets on a school bus and sits in her seat, clearly in a bad mood. Noticing that her boyfriend is on the bus driving by, waving and blowing kisses to her, Orrico slides down her seat, using a notebook to block her view of him. Later, she stands in front of a chain-link fence and watches him play basketball with his friends. Another scene shows Orrico getting ready for a school dance, but when she arrives, she sees her boyfriend dancing with another girl and then leaves, just as her boyfriend notices her. When she gets off the bus at the end of the video, she quickly walks over to her boyfriend. Just as they approach each other, she walks away from him.
