Music video
Jim Yukich directed the music video[1] which takes place at a concert. At the beginning of the video, two men talk about going inside the concert, with the short man talking about how excited he is for it, before they go inside to see Cetera performing "Best of Times". After the performance, the two men are about to go inside again when the door slams shut and they both leave. The song "Body Language (There in the Dark)" is heard in the end.
