The third single from Bic Runga's 1997 debut album Drive got to number seven in the New Zealand charts, 10 in Australia and 26 in Ireland. It nudged the British charts at 96, and was included on the soundtrack of hit comedy American Pie. Directed by English photographer/video director Karen Lamond and made to showcase Runga internationally, the video shows the singer shyly stalking the hipster of her 90s dreams, as he stocks the shelves of an Italian deli. Back at her place, the camera pulls back for an unexpected end. An earlier video for the single also exists, directed by Kiwi talent Joe Lonie.
