Music video

The music video for "When" was shot in New York City, and directed by Markus Blunder. It was released exclusively to the UK in August 1998, and played once in the US on CMT's Video Bio for Twain. The video starts with Twain apparently dying and becoming an angel, and then she goes around New York City, pursuing her love interest. The ending of the video shows her love interest placing a note under her door, which Twain opens to reveal an angel drawing and collapsing on her bed, mirroring the opening scene. The last scene shows Twain's angel form re-entering her body, symbolizing that she was only daydreaming the whole time. Performance scenes featuring Twain sitting on a bed singing the song are also intercut throughout the video. Her stunt double was actress Alissa Dean. Two versions of the video were released, one with the 'Original Album Version', which is more country, and one with the 'International Version', which is more pop. Both versions of the video have rarely been screened since the single release. "When" is the only video from Twain's first three albums to not be included on her compilations Come On Over: Video Collection and The Platinum Collection, although the rare 'International Version' is available on YouTube and select CD singles.
