Music Video

The video for "A Mind of Its Own" was directed by Simon Atkinson and Adam Townley. The video was released through a DVD single.

It begins with Beckham walking barefoot through a forest; she is wearing a brown blouse and purple skirt. These scenes are interspaced with Beckham sitting by a waterfall. Later on, she finds an abandoned mansion which she enters; it is full of leaves and vines. In the bridge and final chorus, she is shown in one of the bedrooms of the mansion laying on a bed whilst holding a pillow and sitting on a chair; in these scenes, she is wearing a black tank top, jeans and white trainers. The video ends with Beckham looking into the camera, smiling and laughing.
