The video switches between black and white and colour imagery and mainly features the band on a beach and female swimmers. The word "touchy" features regularly, being written using pebbles and on a steamy window by Morten Harket near the start of the video. The word is also created by the bodies of a group of female synchronised swimmers on the sand. The first beach scene features each band member exiting from a different beach tent as a girl spies on them through a telescope. They are each wearing a black swimsuit with a white towel around their neck. They all bump into each other at the point where the three paths meet up.
