Music video

edit

The music video, directed by Paul Boyd and produced by Adrian Fulle, was filmed in Los Angeles on 28 April 2008. It shows two robots coming to life and people dancing in a nightclub where the video was shot. Starring Ultrabeat and Darren Styles, the video also shows Re-Con (Mike Di Scala) singing the lyrics to the song on the dancefloor with Chris Henry and Darren Styles DJing. The main focus of the video, however, is the two robots dancing under the discolights.
