Music videos
There were three music videos made for this song.
- The first video released in December 2008, takes place in a building. It also has an alternate instrumental, having more of a rock-influenced sound than the original.[2]
- The second (official) music video consists of a more military-theme. It starts with Ryan and three other men crooning and deals with Leslie shipping out to sea. While he is on stage performing, a man played by Tyson Beckford tries to steal his girlfriend. Which leads to a fight between the two at the end of the video. This version was released to BET's 106 & Park on January 16, 2009,[3] and later ranked at #64 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.
