The music video features Bedingfield looking for a woman in a number of locations in London, most notably West India Quay, a bridge connecting West India to Canary Wharf, and the Canary Wharf Docklands area. He is pursuing a woman he may know and comes inches close while chasing her around Docklands Light Railway, and eventually meets her at Canary Wharf. Canadian director Little X directed the video.[5] A second version of the video, also directed by Little X, was created for North America. In the beginning of the North American music video, an acoustic version of "Gotta Get Thru This" is featured and then the official D'n'D version starts playing after.
Bedingfield was inspired to write this while walking across Tower Bridge in London frustrated at being separated from a girl he was in love with from Leeds, in the north of England. The girl was a red haired American dancer named Gina, and he was upset that the distance between them was preventing him from pursuing her. Bedingfield went home and recorded this in his bedroom with a microphone plugged to his home computer using a Making Waves computer audio program. The total cost of the recording was 1,500 pounds, and after pressing some of his own copies of the song, Bedingfield sent them to various DJs, and DJ EZ included it on a compilation. After hearing it, Polydor signed him the song became a big hit. >>
