The video for "Helpless When She Smiles" was filmed November 15, 2007 in Joshua Tree National Park, California. It is directed by Bernard Gourley. The music video premiered on December 12 on Yahoo! Music. The video was filmed in color, but then stripped to appear black and white, depicting the Boys standing in a spacious corn field.
