Music video

The music video for the song was shot in April 2009 in Miami, Florida. The video shows a young guy stealing a car with his girlfriend, then driving through the city. They stop at a superette and while the girl distracts the salesman, her boyfriend steals some beer. They leave the shop together and then happily drive through the city again, having the "time of their life". After stopping under a bridge, they get out and share a passionate kiss. The girl finds an engagement ring in a pack of "Lucky Charms", and the couple decides to get married in a small church. The groom carries the bride out of the church, then they continue to drive through the city. At high speed, they drive past a police man, who immediately chases them. They lose the police man, who finds only an empty car remaining. The couple now walk along the beach, hand-in-hand. Throughout the video, the four Queensberry girls are shown walking along the beach, having fun. In the end, they walk past the married couple.[1]
