The music video is very sexy and shows Tina at a beach, wearing a red mini dress and playing around with a whip. Some shirtless men with white trousers are lying in the waves and do acrobatic exercises, while some women in bikinis are dancing at the beach. The clip is only available on the Simply The Best LaserDisc edition and is unfortunately still waiting for a release on DVD.
