SOS (Nike Version) - Rihanna

SOS Official Video: has three music videos; one of them being an Agent Provocateur video which features Rihanna walking into a hotel which turns into a nightclub. Another was done for Nike, featuring a dance contest in a gym. The official version features Rihanna in various outfits and scenes. Scenes include her wearing a low cut cut green dress and dancing in front of tropical plants on a beach, wearing a white top and silver glitter mini-skirt and dancing against a plain grey background with the male dancer, wearing a pink dress in a mirrored room, wearing black lace with four male dancers who are performing a choreographed dance routine, and performing a dance routine with a group of female dancers.

Nike Version: The video begins with a long shot of a group of dancers who have just finished rehearsing a dance routine. As the dancers walk out of view, Rihanna walks onto the middle of the floor, where the singer turns, and faces the camera, and closes her eyes. Standing still, Rihanna begins to snap her fingers, whereby the screen begins to cut between a scene of Rihanna, who is noticeably in a different setting, and black fades. As the music begins to play, it becomes apparent that the setting has changed from a rehearsal studio into a nightclub, which Rihanna in the center. The scene is fairly dark with different colored lights projected into different areas of the nightclub, as dancers infiltrate the dance floor surrounding Rihanna. This scene is used for the first verse-chorus-verse part of the song, but changes to a scene of Rihanna, accompanied by several dancers, situated in a gym locker room for the second chorus. For the bridge, the scene changes back to Rihanna in the nightclub, but this time in a different change of outfit. This scene is used for the final chorus. The video ends with a close-up of Rihanna in the nightclub standing still as the audio finishes, where she closes her eyes, which prompts the scene to change back to Rihanna in the middle of the rehearsal studio from the beginning of the video, to which she walks out of view of the camera.
