Music Videos
A total of three music videos have been made for Heart Skips a Beat: one for the UK release and two for the American release.

The UK video was released on 15 July 2011 and was filmed at Mile End Skate Park in East London. The video features Murs dancing on a giant record player and is briefly seen with Rose, the papier mâché girlfriend he made in the video for his previous single Busy.

The first U.S. video was released on 1 June 2012 and was filmed at Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. The video features Murs playing three characters: a football coach, a spectator and a football player trying to entice an all female team with his dance moves and tricks.

The second U.S. video was released on 27 September 2012 and was filmed at Venice Beach in California. The video features Murs pursuing an attractive woman and tries to get her attention for the duration of the song. Just when Murs and the woman are about to kiss at the end of the song, Murs finds himself back where he was at the start of the video with the idea being that all that happen in the video was a dream. Unlike the previous video, Chiddy Bang is heard but not seen.
