- DirectorDave MeyersStarsAnastaciaThe music video was shot on January 16-17, 2002 in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California. In the beginning, while the sun is rising up, Anastacia is shown eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, while singing the first verse of the song. After the slow opening, she dances through the room and you see other people in a sort of a game house. The video shows men playing volleyball on the beach and other people swimming in the pool. Then Anastacia is seen lying on a pool side. Next, the camera travels through a sand castle. When it gets out of the castle, Anastacia is seen dancing.
- DirectorDave MeyersStarsP!nkL.A. ReidWanda RothThe music video for "Don't Let Me Get Me," shot by director Dave Meyers, depicts Pink as a high school student, in various scenes in which her nonconformity causes conflict with other students and school officials. A similarly-themed scene depicts her meeting with L.A. Reid, who tells her that in order to make her into a pop star, she will have to change everything about her outward appearance, in order to make her persona more comparable to that of Britney Spears, despite Pink's insistence that that is not how she sees herself. Yet another scene shows her modeling for the cover of a magazine, irritated at how she is being made up by the lighting technicians, makeup artists and other personnel involved in the shoot. The video then shifts to a scene in which Pink, now in control over her career, is welcomed back to her high school for a concert there.

- DirectorWayne IshamStarsBritney SpearsThe music video for the track was directed by Wayne Isham, who wanted it to show Spears "out in nature". The video was filmed completely on location, with none of the scenes shot on green screens. The video primarily consists of Spears, whilst wearing cowboy boots, performing the song whilst standing on the edge of a cliff, and inside a cave: despite her "trepidation" and heavy winds which "almost dropped her over", she performed the scene without a safety cable. Isham praised Spears' attitude to the filming of the scene, claiming that she "had not a blink of fear" during the shoot, Spears is sitting on top of a cliff, surrounded by cliffs.
