The video depicts One Direction performing their song "One Thing" across various settings in London. It begins with the band on steps, then shows them singing and dancing around playground equipment, on bikes, and on a bus while being cheered on by fans. Later scenes take place in a public performance setting with fans gathered around, and on the bus again with shots of screaming fans outside. The video ends with the band performing on stairs and shots of London as the song concludes.
