The music video, directed by [[Gregory Dark]], received its world premiere on the [[MTV]] series ''[[Making the Video]]''. In the video, Mandy stands in a crowd for the premiere of "Ice Blue" where she daydreams of being with someone famous ([[Eric Lively]]) on the red carpet. It ends as she snaps back to reality and her two friends are giving her a weird look for daydreaming.

Two known versions of this video exist. The original longer version (4:02) of the music video was released on a DVD titled, ''Mandy Moore: The Real Story'' and features different shots of the beginning. The follow-up DVD release that was packaged with ''[[The Best of Mandy Moore]]'' features a shorter version (3:46), deleting the sub-plot of the video in which Mandy is daydreaming of being with an actor. The cut version implies that she is with the famous guy removing references that is not actually with her and that she's actually day dreaming.

The shorter version was posted through [[Vevo]] HD in October, 2009.
