The video starts off with Mumba exiting a car that just pulled into a building, and she starts singing. It cuts to a new scene where Mumba is sitting with friends in a blue room while boys walk in; the video switches between this scene and her dancing a routine. These three scenes continue to switch during the rest of the song.
