The music video also establishes the setting although only the first picture is clear on the location.

Here are a variety of mid, close up and long shots used within the song – I have noticed that the person singing a certain section within the song tends to be at the font – in this case it is Heidi.

Here the singer Keisha has a part and is therefore focused on more by being at the font.
Here the singer Mutya is singing so has the camera on her – whilst the others dance in the background.

Even though the music video is mainly focused on the Sugarbabes, new charctersare introduced to enhance the narrative of the song.

All through the music video there is a strong narrative of each singer meeting a guy on a floor of a tall building.

To add to the music video there is a small dance routine consisting of basic, in sync moves.

The costumes appear very revealing and enhance the idea of ‘Male Gaze’. Although each individual shows lots of flesh, Mutya shows the most.
