Music video

The music video was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Sanaa Hamri, premiered on BET's Access Granted on August 25, 2004. The video received heavy rotation on Disney Channel, BET and MTV. Michael Copon plays in the video as Raven's love interest.

"I'm with this guy and he's just being disrespectful to me. I'm coming in the house trying to offer him popcorn and he's throwing it all over me, talking on the phone [when] we're supposed to be having some quality time together. So through all of this I'm just typing on my Blackberry and writing something down mischievously and we don't know what's going on... Anyway, we find out that I'm reprogramming him, kinda like 'Stepford Husbands,' making him a little more respectful, loving and [willing to] listen some more, not necessarily catering just to me, but come on now, let's be serious."
