Synopsis

edit

The video begins as the camera pans down on Khaled's clothes in his mansion. His love interest (Burgos) is throwing his clothes and phone on the floor while confronting him about being home at 6:00 in the morning. The next scene shows Khaled playing the song on a grand piano while a lady seduces him. The scene cuts to Minaj where she is in an apartment sitting on a couch while twerking on an armchair. The next scene involve Brown and Alsina singing the chorus next to Khaled in a platform above a pool. After that, it shows Brown being seduced by a lady above the piano. As Alsina sings his verse, he is shown caressing his woman in the bedroom. Jeremih sings his verse next as he flirts with his woman against the wall while dancing for him. After the second chorus, Future is rapping while a few women are drinking a bottle, sporting Beats by Dre headphones and Galaxy cigarette lighters. Rick Ross raps his verse against a series of stained glass windows with his woman standing beside him. Towards the end of the video, Khaled talks to Burgos that when she doesn't stress her, he can maneuver the "jungle" while comparing his love to a king and queen revealing his new name to be "Billy". He then gives her a new necklace telling her she's "a major key to me." The video fades out as they embrace.
