Music video
The music video was released on 15 September 2009 and is directed by Alan Ferguson. It captures Rob Thomas wandering through a parade in downtown New York City. "The coolest part was just filming the parade," Rob told Entertainment Weekly about the shooting process. "We had a lot of fans come down, and we dressed them all up and had a bunch of gigantic floats flying around." The video shows many people holding up picket signs with quotes such as "We're all one world," or "Peace please."
