Music video

"When It's Over" is a song about having feelings for a person after the end of a relationship in which there were repeated breakups before. The music video (directed by McG) features segments of each band member's fascination about a music video for the song, ending with the band partying on the beach. Stan Frazier's portion, the first, consists of him destroying the set on which they play. Murphey Karges, next, shows the band performing as an Irish punk rock group. DJ Homicide's shows the group entering a strip club. Rodney Sheppard's segment portrays his love of kung fu, as he fights Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Bruce Lee in his yellow jumpsuit. Mark McGrath has the band in the 1980s imitating Duran Duran. Sugar Ray's mascot, the bulldog, is also shown at the end of the music video in a brief cameo.
