Music video

edit

A music video for the song was released on July 14, 2008 (2008-07-14) at CSS' official YouTube channel.[1] The clip shows Renata Abbade, who also directed and produced the video, using masks of CSS faces and dancing the song. The official video directed by Abbade was put together after the original video was cancelled following its completion due to a British girl murdered in Brasil while on vacation, her body was dumped in two suitcases and dumped in a river,[2] the original video featured members of the band packed into a suitcase and was deemed in bad taste. Due to the hurried nature of the second video the band members were not available for filming and hence the masks were used.[3] The original video leaked on a Russian video hosting site in 2017.
