The video, somewhat darker in tone than any of the band's previous releases, touches on several of the band's real-world issues.
Whereas each band member has a lead vocal part in the song, each of their separate scenes is introduced at or just before their verse begins. Most of the video is shot in a desaturated scheme in which only certain red elements were brightly colored, until the very end of the video when the band walks out of the city into a brightly coloured field. The five band members congregate and begin walking down the street together. McLean's bus arrives, and Littrell exits the hospital. Richardson arrives to meet Dorough and the two leave the building together. Howie Dorough drinks from a teacup at an old-style bar as a girl in red runs towards him, but fades away before she reaches him. Nick Carter walks down a city street in the rain and saves a girl from almost being hit by the bus McLean is on. Kevin Richardson watches film of himself and his father in an apartment. He sees her appear on the bus, but she fades away. McLean's scenes take place on a coach bus, mourning the loss of a girl whose photo he carries. The video begins at a hospital, in which Brian Littrell watches doctors try to save a patient, also portrayed by Littrell. It follows each of the band members separately until the instrumental break and final choruses. The music video for "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" was directed by Stuart Gosling.

It was released in 2000, and peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on the United World Chart. It is a significant hit, second only to the first single I Want It That Way from the same album, becoming one of the most successful singles of the boy band. "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" is the third single off Backstreet Boys' 1999 album, Millennium.
