Music video
editThe shooting personnel included the video director Rupert Wainwright, choreographer Charles Lawrence and stylist Tanya Gill. All were invited to Ukraine on behalf of İTV by the Euromedia and Luxen Group of Companies.[4] The shooting took place in Kyiv on the weekend of 16 April and lasted 37 hours with Safura being accompanied by Ukrainian dancers.[4] The music video was presented on 29 April 2010.[5] In April 2010 BIP Records released "Drip Drop" as a digital single in Belgium and the local radio channel MNM added the song to its playlist.
The video is focused on irresistible love. According to Knight, it features "the story of the girl that wants to be in love, but the guy is just not that into her and the choreography showcases that story" and "this comes up to the mix of contemporary and urban styles".[4]
