Music video
The music video is semi-animated. It features the group in a recording studio flying through space before transforming into animated superheroes whose mission must defeat a giant green monster. In the end, they succeed, and once their mission is complete, return to their real-life selves. Bardot's then-manager, Michael Napthali, makes a small cameo, rounding up the girls back into the recording studio before the end of the song.
