Music Video[]
The video begins with Yoona picking up a black crystal. The camera zooms into the stone and shows the other members walking around in the area with rose petals falling in slow motion, along with Jessica releasing a white dove. The song begins and the girls start the dance routine in a black and white fashioned room. It also shows them dancing in a misty atmosphere with sand on the ground. The dance break in the middle of the song features a rap performed by Yuri, Yoona, Hyoyeon, and Sooyoung. Towards the end of the music video, the camera focuses on a slow-motioned flying dove. The video ends with the girls posing inside the black crystal while the rose petals continue to fall.

Yuri • Sooyoung • Yoona • Seohyun
겁이 나서 시작조차 안 해 봤다면
그댄 투덜대지 마라 좀 (GG)
주저하면 기회는 모두 너를 비켜 가
가슴 펴고 나와 봐라 좀 (T.R.X)
Bring the boys out
Yeah, you know
