- Office worker Hilary dreams about a getaway romantic holiday on the beach where she meets a hunky guy, but gets so lost in her playful fantasy that she gets fired from her job.
- Another humdrum day at work, and office klutz Hilary sneaks some time off paging through her favorite magazine Vacation Station, wherein she spots a hunky beach boy inspiring her to daydream about a romantic getaway with him on the beach. She and her withered long-suffering fellow-inmate co-workers have a old guy as a boss, and a no-nonsense bitchy supervisor, who already has Hilary on a short leash, impatiently checking up on her every move when she is a minute or so late, so overstressed Duff gleefully succumbs to her escapist fantasy in which her normally somewhat-inelegant self is transformed into a glorious beach goddess running on the golden sand of Malibu in her skimpy bikini, soaking up the sun's rays under an azure-blue sky. I'm chasing the sun, I'm chasing the sun..." Her crush is applying suntan lotion over her body.
But in reality, it's an ugly ginger co-worker bloke who is massaging her shoulders, taking advantage of her while she is in Cloud Cuckooland. Later on, she tosses a glass of water over the board members in the conference room, and is given the sack, sent off on her merry way as she vacates her workstation, carrying out her belongings. Anyway, she is now freed from the dingy office. Off to Malibu, chasing after the sun? She, giggling, blows us a few kisses. It's a trademark of Hilary's vids to exit super-pretty.
The tone of the video is goofy and sweet, and Hilary comes across as still very much the innocent girl her core audience grew up with. The music, and the song, all fits in with this approach. It is perhaps too tame, surely her fans from the 00s have matured and would want something wilder? But Hilary remains true to her roots. She is the kind of girl mothers would approve of to be the idol of their daughters. And doesn't take herself too seriously - clearly a lot of fun was had making this video. She also has one of the prettiest contemporary faces.
