Music videos

Two music videos were created for the single "One Night Stand". The original (UK) version, directed by Phil Griffin, took place in a club. The video displayed elaborate colors and clothing of the early 2000s. The music video starts out with Sabrina getting ready and singing acapella to "All I Want", while Su-Elise and Alesha sit and wait. Su-Elise interrupts Alesha while she is watching the "All I Want" music video to play their debut album. The girls are then seen walking down a hallway and into a cab to the club. After the bridge, the Sunship version of the song is played displaying the garage sound Mis-Teeq became famous for. The US version, directed by Jake Nava, features the girls at an underground garage fashion show. Because this song was the follow-up "Scandalous" in the US, a darker, sexier image is shown in the video to match the aesthetic of their debut album in the states. The US video uses the US single mix, which utilizes a slightly different drum beat and additional adlib vocals from Alesha.
