The music video was directed by Paul Boyd and premiered in January 2007. It was filmed in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It is a fairly simple video, featuring the duo Jennifer Nettles singing into a microphone performing the song against an all-white moving background on a rotating swivel circular stage with a full band. During the second verse, audience members are revealed and sing and dance to the song as the duo perform.

Chart performance
On the May 19, 2007 chart, "Settlin'" received the exact amount of airplay among country radio stations on the Billboard survey as "Stand", the song which held the number one position the week prior. This was the first such occurrence in the history of the Hot Country Songs charts. According to rules established by Billboard, a tie in airplay is broken by whichever of the two songs had a greater gain in airplay compared to the previous week; as "Settlin'" had increased in airplay over the previous week while "Stand" had decreased, "Settlin'" was therefore declared the number one song on that week's chart.[2]
