The video for "Stricken" takes place in an abandoned asylum. There are two women in the video. A man has an affair with both of them. As a result, the man's original girlfriend is shown upset and screaming. The other woman is shown going after the man. The man, on the other hand, does not show emotion to the very end, with hands on his face. All the while, Disturbed is shown playing, in the background, and random objects are either dropped or thrown.

The first b-side, "Hell", is also a bonus track on Ten Thousand Fists. The second b-side, "Dehumanized", was recorded during the recording of Believe. Both songs are also included on the b-side compilation, The Lost Children.
