The music video of "Miss Independent" was shot with director Chris Robinson on Monday, August 11, 2008 in Santa Monica, California. It featured cameos from Keri Hilson, Gabrielle Union, Lauren London and Trey Songz. It begins with Ne-Yo as a corporate boss walking to his office through his employee's office. As he walks by various office workers (played by various singers) say hi to Ne-Yo which seems to ignore him as he is attracted to his co-worker. The video continues with Ne-Yo at a meeting getting interrupted by his co-worker who apologizes to him in the end and asks him out for a date.
