The video, which was filmed in Toronto, pictures the pop songstress in a world full of intertwining relationships. It features a variety of people alongside Furtado as they let loose while making their way to an epic party.

With characters like rollerskating angels, a young couple in love, and break-dancing b-boys, the video is meant to show the various bonds life offers us and how these bonds are formed. "We see all these people from different walks of life making a pilgrimage to a special place, a special party," said director Alan Ferguson.

Furtado goes into more detail about the meaning behind the song and it's video. "So basically the song 'The Night Is Young' is not necessarily a love song, it's about relationships in many different forms," Furtado says. "It's about celebrating, reminiscing ... and having a good time and enjoying life."
