Music video
Two music videos for "Get What You Want" were released in the UK and Australia.
In the Australian music video it features all band members in a cartoon-like setting, singing and dancing as hands and skeletons chase each other.
The second music video was released in the UK, and was shot while the band was on tour. The music video film was lost and the band had to re-film the music video. The video begins with members playing their instruments in a white room with taped black sheets on the wall and a speaker on the side. Wilkinson begins singing through a megaphone, while intercut scenes of the band members show them dancing in the background while Wilkinson sings in front of them. It also shows various scenes of each member playing separately, the band singing under an umbrella and on the floor.
