He added, "however the recorded version is quite another animal then what we performed live- it's better, we hope you like it- this might be the most fun energetic song we've ever tackled."

"All The Right Moves" official music video was premiered on October 8, 2009 on VH1.com & MTV.com. The music video, directed by Wayne Isham, features the band playing on a small stage for the performers of a masquerade ball. The band play "All The Right Moves" and the dancers perform to this song. Meanwhile, a small boy collects money (and steals) from the dancers as they move around the floor. Around the bridge of the song, Ryan Tedder plays the piano while singing. Although the song and its style are more modern-time, the dancers, background, and the dance they perform is Edwardian and it has also been described as being Baroque. The band has said that they like to have their music videos abstract so that the song is open to interpretation. You can watch the official music video below.
