Synopsis
Aly & AJ perform "Like Whoa" across a series of bright, stylized studio sets built around the song's rush of new love. The sisters sing into vintage microphones, lounge together on a sofa, dance through colorful backdrops, and play up the track's playful, high-energy mood. Aly also appears bouncing on a trampoline, adding to the video's sense of movement. Some versions intercut the performance footage with scenes from the Disney Channel Original Movie Minutemen, which helped frame the song as a soundtrack to youthful adventure and excitement.
