Music video

The first scene shown in the music video is of BoA in a dark room with a flower and many photographs scattered throughout the floor of the room. There are three windows to the room. Through each of windows, BoA is there, one with a big black hat with a white dress, another with a flower in her hair and the atmosphere like autumn and the last is BoA sitting upon a bell tower dressed in completely black. The music video takes turns between all the scenes and BoA is shown singing throughout all of them.
