Production for the music video began in the autumn of 2001. A general casting call was held in the town of Reykjavík, Iceland, which was also the place of principal photography. The video was directed by Icelandic directors Stefán Arni and Siggi Kinski. The video has won an Icelandic Music Award for "Best Video" in 2002.

Set in 1950s Iceland, it features a kiss between two young boys which is broken up by the father of one of the boys during a football match. All band members do a cameo in the music video: Jónsi is the soccer team coach, Orri is the scorekeeper, Georg is the referee, and Kjartan is one of the spectators.
