for "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex" was released prior to the single's commercial release. It was directed by Tim Royes and filmed at Royal Studios in North London. The video cuts between three main sequences, the first with Stevens in an enclosed glass box, representing that she is trapped in a relationship that she no longer wants to be a part of. From inside she signs to the camera, hits the walls and at one point takes off her high heels and angrily throws them down. In the second sequence her backing dancers tie her up in a red ribbon and trap her, which she fights against and breaks free. The third sequence sees Stevens signing to her "LA Ex", telling him that she no longer wants to be with him; the video ends with her walking away from the man and leaving the relationship. At first Stevens was unsure about the idea when the choreographer told her of the plans for the video but she soon warmed up to it, "It was strange at first but I like it because it's something new and looks great on stage." The video was slightly edited for the rest of Europe.
