The music video, directed by Keith Schofield,[3] was released on the director's official YouTube page on February 6, 2009[4] and premiered on 106 & Park on February 27.
Following accusations of copying the rapping style for Move (If You Wanna) from Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid, Mims stated he never met Gillie and was not trying to start beef with anyone.[5] Mims and Gillie would later record the remix for Move (If You Wanna) together.[6]
