There are two different videos for "Four to the Floor." In the first one, the band played in a scenario accompanied by the members of a symphonic orchestra appearing and disappearing according to the development of the song and the instruments.

The second onevideo features a genderless little person of unknown age in a hooded winter jacket spray-painting graffiti on public walls in or near the city of London. The band members of Starsailor are depicted as animated graffiti whilst playing the title song throughout. At the end of the video the faceless, anonymous elfin creature is caught while standing on a bridge and shaken down by the police. One of the scenes in the video can be seen as the art cover for the [[Hard-Fi]] single ''[[Hard to Beat]]''. An shorter edit was also made, using the [[Stuart Price|Thin White Duke]] remix of the song.

The video also shows the images of famous Argentine revolutionary [[Che Guevara]] and Ben Byrne wears a T-shirt with the word "socialism" though there is not a clear connection between those images and the concept of the video.
