Music Video

In the music video Jennifer Lopez gets into a limousine and goes to the highway. In the sedan Lopez stripped while driving. At the beach she takes a break, she walks and stripping it. First she throws away her sunglasses, then her sweater and then her bra. Then she gets out of her pocket a postcard, that is called: "Wish you were here"; Lopez is now surrounded by dancers ( one of the dancers is Lopez's ex-husband, Cris Judd ). Then the camera zooms to the postcard. Lopez then tears up the postcard and throws it away. It gets rid of other symbols of luxury through to undress on the beach.

At the MTV Video Music Awards 2001 the video was nominated in two categories: Best Female Video and Best Dance Video.
