Music video
When asked what he thought of the music video for the song, Jay Kay said, "That video is crap [...] My original idea had been tampered with by everyone from the record company to the management." He proposed the video to be shot in Ibiza, then changed to New York City, but his flight there scheduled on 11 September 2001 had to be cancelled. "We ended up doing it in the Docklands in London in the pissing rain. I wasn't very happy with it."[1]
