Praise Jesus that this song got a video. This song is Colette's first real chance to breakthrough to mainstream radio while still staying (mostly) true to her origins as a rap chica. For those used to hearing her hardcore spit, it may take a bit to swallow this song, but for those who love her more poppy side, this is a goldmine.
Seriously, this video is brighter and bubblier than an Aqua video -- and that's a good thing. From the beginning of her driving a cCarr look-a-like doll in a RC car, to her dancing on her bed, this video is cute and fun. Colette invites her friends over, they get ready, and hit up a party where her ex is. The twist ending? She gets with her ex even though he spent the whole time at the party flirting with another blonde girl.
The ending itself is something I don't think anybody saw coming. Her usual person is "screw men, especially if they cross me", but here we see her willingly giving into temptation. She instead turned and gave out the message "screw girls who try and steal this guy Im working on things with". Strange, no?
The video is a huge step in the right direction for cCarr. The quality is amazing. The direction was fantastic. "F16" was amazing, but with the lack of forward movement with "Why Are You Leaving", I was worried. This video has restored my faith both in Colette Carr and her "Skitszo" movement. Bring on part four. I'm ready.
