The storyboard outlines a music video that would open with establishing shots to set the location. It then shows friends, including the main performer, and cuts to a close-up of a girl's facial expression. As the music starts, the performer checks the time as they need to leave soon. There are shots of him walking after the uninterested girl and dancing in a tunnel on their way to a party. At the party, shown in black and white with the girl in red, there are performance scenes and a conversation where he expresses his feelings. The video ends with the two silhouetted together at the London Eye as the music and dialogue finish.
