The music video for "Hole in the Head" was directed by Matthew Rolston and filmed on various locations in London in September 2003. The video shows the girls wearing heavy make up while dressed in gothic-like clothing and accessories and dancing around. They are also shown dating a rock band called Erased with whom they go to a gig. The girls discover the band getting intimate with other girls during the show. In the end, while the trio is performing in front of the crowd, the girls come out first grabbing the guys and throwing them off the stage and start damaging the instruments. There are 2 other versions of the music video. One is an uncensored version of the video available on the CD single with extra footage. Aside from it being the original explicit version of the song, there is also a scene where Buchanan gives the middle finger to the camera. Second being the US version of the music video with extra scenes of the girls in front of a black background replacing the more 'violent' scenes.
The Sugababes are Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Siobhan Donaghy. They met at a garage party at the age of 12. They were all 16 when they recorded their first UK Top 10 hit in 2000, "Overload." Since then they have had a number of international hits including several UK chart toppers. Siobhan Donaghy left the band mid-tour in 2001 due to depression and fighting within the group and she was replaced by Heidi Range. Keisha Buchanan says of this in the Night & Day magazine from November 20, 2005: "I've never said this before, but Hole In The Head was about being in a relationship with J-Rock from the band Big Brovaz, and then finding out he was cheating on me. That song was written when I was an angry 18-year-old."
Seven hours since you went away Eleven coffees, Rickki Lake on play But late at night when I'm feeling blue I'd sell my ass before I think of you Seven hours since you closed the door Started a diet, got a manicure Erased your number from my telephone And if you call me I won't be at home He said [Bridge] Why do you cry For the guy Say goodbye Runaway Why do you cry For the guy Say goodbye I said OK, cause [Chorus] Oh, boy do you miss me like a hole in the head Because I do boy, And it's cool boy And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed Because of you boy, Such a fool boy Eleven hours on a brand new day I'm getting ready to go out and play It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove I'd kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue Seven hours, what you calling for? A bunch of flowers and I slam the door You're in my face, sorry what's your name? Takes more than begging to reverse my brain Cause [Chorus] I'm through with it Over it Not having it Crazy shit Not feeling this Can't deal, I quit No more, No more I'm through with it Not having it This crazy shit Not feeling it Can't deal with it No more of it No more, no more Breaking off the bun A brand new day has just begun Just because you made me go "ooh" Doesn't mean I'll put up with you Don't you dare turn back Can't you see I won't take that? I ain't crying not over you Better for your head up like I told you [Bridge] [Chorus: x2]
