Orianthi (born Orianthi Panagaris 22 January 1985) is an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist. She was first known for being Michael Jackson's lead guitarist for his comeback concert series, This Is It. Her debut single "According to You" has peaked at No. 8 in Australia and No. 17 in the US, and her debut album Believe was released throughout the last three months of 2009 worldwide. The music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld and begins with Orianthi alone in her bedroom with a guitar for the opening lines of the song. The video then follows her to a photo shoot, a house party where her band is playing and two concerts, as well as a gray room where she is alone during her guitar solos. The video ends as a bookend of the beginning, with her alone again in her room as she plays guitar to herself. Throughout the video, the fretboard of the guitar is super-imposed into the shot, Orianthi's hand can be seen as she plays the notes.
