The video was directed by Marc Klasfeld, who is most well-known from his works of director for Sum 41's music videos. Lavigne reportedly came up with the concept for the video. The video portrays three relationships in different age groups, but in the same situation involving these relationships on the verge of being destroyed. The first relationship involves a pregnant woman whose husband is fighting in the war. The second involves an elderly man whose wife has recently died. And the third involves a teenage couple walking in the park only to be caught by the girl's controlling mother who forbids them from seeing each other ever again. Lavigne said that the video is very personal. In the end, the scenes break out daylight with the teenage girl returning to the place where the duo were caught, the elderly man drinking to his wife in a graveyard, and an SMS from the pregnant woman's husband, with the text "I'm okay. I miss U". Lavigne is then seen running in a field once more until the screen fades out.
Portions of the video were filmed at California State University, Northridge's Botanic Garden. The video was premiered on MuchMusic in Canada on 6 June 2007 during the 5 pm broadcast of MuchOnDemand. While in the United States it was premiered on MTV's TRL on 21 June. It reached the No. 1 spot on both TV music channel countdowns on August.
One year later the video won the People's Choice: Favourite Canadian Artist award during the 2008 MuchMusic Video Awards.
This is the song that I have chosen to do as this song is my favourite out of my choices as I think it is the easiest to lip sing and I have different ideas for the music video than the original music video.
