The video for "The Music's No Good Without You" follows the concept of the lyrics of the song. In the music video Cher is an outer space queen who is sad because her lover has left her. Throughout the whole video she writes a letter claiming that she knows he doesn't need her anymore. In the end she places the letter in an empty bottle and sends it floating into space. It appears that this had not been the first letter that she had sent to him because there are dozens of bottles floating in space.
A remix video was made for the "The Music's No Good Without You". The remix video was the entitled Almighty Edit and the remix used for the video was the radio edit of the Almighty mix. The video was officially released by Warner Bros. as a promo only.
In 2001 the video for "The Music's No Good Without You" was commercially released in the UK on a box set which included the video in PAL
format. In the box set the song and three promotional pictures were also included.
