==Music video==
A music video for "Girl Next Door" was released in February 2006. It was recorded over one weekend in [[Los Angeles]] despite harsh weather; a spokesperson of Saving Jane's label said the video used the rain effectively, and that it had stopped before the filming of important scenes. The video featured on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Total Request Live]]''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ritchey |first1=Alicia |last2=Brooks |first2=Evan |date=February 6, 2006 |work=The Lantern |title='Girl Next Door' girl no more |url=https://www.thelantern.com/2006/02/girl-next-door-girl-no-more/}}</ref>
It stars two girls, one jealous of the other. When the second chorus kicks in, the girl uses her powers to hit the jealous one. They both appear in separate scenes, thanks to a pink double-screen. The lead singer is performing in a classroom, and with her band at a concert. The video ends with the girls in two limos. The jealous one somehow cuts into the other girl's screen, and steals a tiara from her. She tries to get it back, but bangs her head on the side of her screen instead.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}}
