The video was released on March 23rd, 2009, in North America. The video shows a father arriving home to find his daughter on her way out to go on a date with her boyfriend. Later on the boyfriend tries to sexually assault the daughter who makes two frantic calls to her father, one a text message with the same numbers in a photograph of the daughter and the father by a baseball ground.

He arrives in time to pull the young man out of the car and punch him twice, then drives off with her crying in his arms.
