Line 7:
The [[music video]] for the song, directed by Stefan Smith, features Simpson singing in the studio (wearing a white shirt emblazoned with the word "[[punk]]" and a pink dress, but no shoes—she sometimes performs barefoot), surrounded by her band members playing their instruments. Clips from ''The Ashlee Simpson Show'' (which debuted on TV in June, not long after the song hit radio) are interspersed throughout the video. The video is fairly simplistic, and when Simpson is going to film the more elaborate video for her second single, "Shadow", in episode seven of the show, she refers to the latter as her first "real" video.
 
Simpson has frequently performed "Pieces of Me" live, including a number of notable television performances. The ''Tonight Show'' episode in which Simpson sang "Pieces of Me" (followed by a brief interview with [[Jay Leno]]) aired on [[May 24]], 2004, and she also sang it on ''[[The Late Show with David Letterman]]'' on [[July 16]]. She sang the song (after a brief interview with [[Charles Gibson]]) on ''[[Good Morning America]]'' on [[July 19]], the day before her album was released in the U.S. On [[July 27]], she sang it (after an interview) on [[Ryan Seacrest]]'s talk show, ''[[On Air With Ryan Seacrest]]''. On [[October 24]], 2004, she performed the song on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' as the first of two scheduled for that night, but when she began her second performance (of "Autobiography", the title track from the album), a recording of "Pieces of Me" could be heard playing before Simpson raised her microphone. Simpson was criticized by some for what was seen as [[lip sync]]hing or singing over a backing track. The next day, she explained on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Total Request Live]]'' that she couldn't sing well that night because of her [[acid reflux]], a medical problem which was also featured prominently on her reality show, so she was forced to perform with a backing track. Unfortunately, she said, at the beginning of her second performance the track for "Pieces of Me" was accidentally played again.
