The music video for "Thank You Baby!" was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at First Light Film Studio by director Paul Boyd. It was originally released in Europe on July 28, 2003. The video was not released to North American stations. It is set in an art gallery, with three four-sided TVs stacked on top of each other in the middle of the room. Twain is singing on the TVs (her head on the top screen, her torso in the middle and her legs on the bottom), while the people in the gallery start noticing her and crowd around the TVs to watch. Also, paintings of an orchestra come to life to play along to the song. The video is available on select CD singles.
"Thank You Baby!" proved to be less successful than the previous singles released from Up!, nevertheless it just missed the top ten in the UK when it debuted at its peak of number 11. It entered the chart on September 6, 2003, and remained on the chart for seven weeks.[5] While it did break the streak of top ten singles at seven in the UK, it did become her tenth top 20 single. The song also hit the top 20 in Austria and Germany.
