Music video
A music video to accompany the release of the single, "Changed the Way You Kiss Me", was first released on YouTube on 21 April 2011. The video lasts 3 minutes and 15 seconds long. The video contains real fans from the street and was filmed in the Ministry of Sound club in London.
Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
In a chart climate dominated with emotional balladry from Adele one minute and thumping feel-good club-pop from LMFAO the song runs through trance beats with eurodance elements the next, an artist can be forgiven for feeling a little confused about where the current music scene is headed and thus how to create a bona-fide hit that will send them straight to the top. That said, Fulham-born Example may just have the answer with this trailer from his forthcoming LP. .
