Music video
editThe music video is directed by R. Kelly.[1] The video was released after Sparkle's debut single "Be Careful" with Kelly and it is seen as a continued story to that video. This and "Be Careful" are two of Kelly's first solo-directed videos since "She's Got That Vibe" from Kelly's then-group Public Announcement in 1991, as he usually co-directs with others.
