Synopsis

The Kooks turn the video into a loose, lively road trip through Tijuana, Mexico. Traveling by bus and on foot, the band members move through busy streets, bars, shops, and colorful local surroundings while performing, joking around, and interacting with people they meet along the way. Rather than building a detailed storyline, the clip captures the group's youthful chemistry and carefree energy. Its handheld, documentary-like feel makes the journey seem spontaneous, with the city serving as an energetic backdrop for the song's theme of independence and emotional distance.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Tijuana, Mexico, during a trip that has also been described as a road journey from Los Angeles to Tijuana.
  • The idea came partly from guitarist Hugh Harris' longstanding fascination with Mexico and its culture. He wanted the country to provide a colorful, positive, and distinctive setting for the band.
  • The Kooks later described the concept as a spontaneous trip intended to let them have fun and behave naturally rather than follow an elaborate treatment.
  • The shoot reportedly became more eventful than planned: bassist Max Rafferty lost his passport, and the band were held at gunpoint by armed border police.
  • "She Moves in Her Own Way" was released as the fifth single from Inside In / Inside Out on June 26, 2006. It reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, helping establish the song as one of the band's signature tracks.
