Background

After being signed to PopLife Records, much was made of Same Difference's 'reinvention', with photos of a new look Sarah and Sean being sent out to the press, and the group adopting a more open and honest interview style. 'Shine On Forever (Photo Frame)' was the first single release to showcase their new style, and continued the trend of moving away from safe, Disney style territory to a harder pop sound. The video was directed by Lauren Pushkin. It is set in a nightclub with dancers and marked a change in image for the group. Sarah and Sean each have a love interest who they share scenes with, before performing a dance routine together. The video was filmed in the Lightbox Room at London's Fire Nightclub.

Music video

The music video was uploaded onto YouTube on 2 July 2010. It has over 90,000 views as of January 2016.
