"Listen To Your Heart"
Lead singer Edmee Daenen is seen sitting at a bar and singing the vocals to the song. Producer, writer and composer Flor Theeuwes is also shown as the DJ at the bar. Theeuwes dances along to the song, along with the bar's crowd, as he plays the track for them. However, Daenen is shown sitting and singing the song in different places around the bar, rather than joining in with the crowd and fellow band member Theeuwes. The video ends with a shot of Daenen singing the words "Listen to your heart."
