The video for "Case of the Ex" was directed by Diane Martel and filmed at Mojave Desert in California.[24] On filming "Case of the Ex," the singer laughed and remarked, "It was literally hell."[24] During filming, a wardrobe malfunction had occurred on set where the studs Mya and her dancers wore didn't have lining on the opposite sides, causing the crew to get cut up on their skin, while simultaneously getting sunburnt with sand getting in their sunburns and scrapes.[24] She noted: "So it was a very painful video regarding our skin and having to do take after take in hot weather."[24] Mya however, gushed and shared, "It was fun because I was so excited to do these really fierce dance moves and show personality."[24] "Case of the Ex" music video "opens in a Mad-Maxish desert setting, where a posse of well-muscled girls stands before a group of somewhat nonplussed boys".[25] The girls then proceed "wielding their martial-arts sticks" at the men during their dance routine.[25] By the end of the video, Mya and her dancers exit, leaving their audience dusty and on their own.[25] Cynthia Fuchs from PopMatters compared the video to "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls and "You Want This" by Janet Jackson.[25] The video first premiered on BET the week ending on June 26, 2000, later airing on MTV the week ending on July 24, 200
