A troubled young girl finds acceptance and community among a new group of friends in the video for Crystal Bowersox's Dead Weight.

The American Idol Season 9 runner-up shot the video in Southern California and premiered it Monday at AOL's The Boot.

"This song means more to me than even I can completely comprehend," Bowersox told the site. "I feel like it's one of those tunes where the meaning will get deeper and deeper over time as you start to really live and actualize the words into your existence."

The song appears on Bowersox's new album, All That for This, due March 26. Bowersox also recently performed the song for Yahoo's Live at Y! Music series.
