The music video, directed by Mike Lipscombe and produced by Michael J. Pierce, is set in the American Southwest, featuring Adams and several women living in the wilderness trying to survive from thirst, snakes, etc. They are all portrayed as giants roaming on the landscape. As a reference to the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, a herd of horses is shown running through a desert.

Bryan Adams' performance and the actor performances were filmed in a green screen studio in Hollywood, California. The background for the video was filmed in Monument Valley, Utah, from a helicopter. The sequences with the horses were filmed at ranch in Santa Clarita, California, against a large green screen so that the action of the horses could be manipulated in post-production. The total production period was six days, an extremely aggressive turnaround for a project that was all green screen and visual effects. This was necessary to premier the music video at the Hollywood screening of the film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
