Synopsis

Pat Benatar performs "We Belong" with her band in a stark, dreamlike setting filled with billowing white fabric and dramatic lighting. The performance alternates with close-ups of Benatar singing alone near a waterfall, giving the video a natural, almost symbolic atmosphere. As the song builds, a children's choir joins her, broadening the intimate relationship song into a communal statement. The simple, performance-centered presentation emphasizes the track's emotional directness rather than telling a separate narrative.
