So whenever I am going to do a project, and especially something I really care about, I have to do it here."

The director also explain that he imagined how the video could be when was listening the song: "When I got the music and I heard it, it was so epic and cinematic. It sounded so much like a movie score. It had so much energy, I had to call her and find out how she came up with it. She said that she wanted to put more of a rock influence into some of the songs in the album; that was totally up my alley."[37] In behind the scenes, the actress Michelle Rodriguez said: "The song is so cool, I love the message behind it, about the girls believing in themselves." She also commented about her participation on the video: "What really call my attention was be banding of girls who was hating one each other and in another second joining forces."[38] Robert also stated to MTV:

"I wanted it to look like a movie, not like a vamped up, over-the-top music video or a movie in a video, but actually something that looked like it was from a spy film. I felt it was this great culmination of movie, ideas and visuals all put together into this song created by Demi Lovato."[37]

Synopsis

The video starts with Lovato in a maximum security prison where she is granted a pardon for selling out Michelle Rodriguez's character by a US marshal. Lovato is sent to apprehend Rodriguez, but Lovato soon realizes that Rodriguez is a step ahead of her. As the police attempt to take Lovato back to prison, she fights back and attempts to stop Rodriguez. Rodriguez overpowers her and she is taken captive by the police in a prison bus. However, she knocks her captors unconscious, breaks free and jumps into Rodriguez's trailing car. A fistfight ensues before the pair realize they were both played (and branded) by the marshal. The two women team up and apprehend the marshal, who is later exposed by the police as a fraud and Lovato and Rodriguez bid farewell and leave on their motorcycles.[39]
