Music video[edit]

The music video was directed by Deaton Flanigen and premiered in late 2001. It is the first of her videos to feature her 2 older daughters, who would later appear in the videos for "This One's For The Girls" and "Teenage Daughters". The video also features her husband John, and although set in a forest, it was actually filmed on a soundstage in Nashville.
