The music video for "Rivers of Joy" was the band's second video to be directed by Robert Bröllochs. Just as the No Angels' debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" scenes were primarily filmed inside the X-Sight-Studios in Groß-Gerau, Hesse in March 2001. While most of the video was shot in front of a white background, the video includes several computer animations based on bluescreen technique.
The video is relatively plotless, focusing on dance choreographies and designs instead of a definite storyline. It begins with the girls as marble statues, awakening to life in a notional museum of art. They start dancing and singing, and call several animal statues such as lions and elephants into being.
The video for "Rivers of Joy" premiered in April 2001 on MTV Central's show the Brand:Neu.
