The music video features Flo Rida and Robin Thicke but not Verdine White. The video, directed by Director X, is set on row of brownstones in Jersey City during a block party on a Summer day. In the video, Flo Rida and Thicke casually flirt with women passing by; ice cream is distributed to the neighborhood and children play in the spraying water of an open fire hydrant.[3][4] The video ends with Flo-Rida, Thicke and party-goers dancing together in the street into the night.[4][5][6]
