Music Video

 
LP Performs during a reverse Bar Fight Scene.

Although the actual track features footsteps leading into an opening door followed by the band performing the song in front of a small audience, the video is much different, as it is just one continuous shot with the band performing on a small stage in front of a reversed bar fight scene. It premiered on July 31, 2007 on MTV Germany[3] and 2 August on MTV Southeast Asia, and was directed by Joe Hahn. The video is set to premiere in the United States on Monday, August 6th, 2007 all day long on MTV2's "Unleashed". It will also premiere on TRL that same day. It debuted at number 27 on Muchmusic's Countdown on August 3rd.
