In the video, “the girls appear to be duplicated as they perform against a backdrop of multiple mirrors.” The boxes are either coloured black, red, or white. The girls portray the “good” Girls Aloud, who are the lovable kind, and their “bad” alter egos, who are not. The bad Girls Aloud throw wine and smash the glass that covers their boxes. Pop music blog PopJustice noted that “twenty singles in, Girls Aloud have made their best video yet.”
