Video clip
The video was filmed by director Hip Williams. In the first episode, Melanie and Missy are dressed in leather spider suits that are in a different dimension. In the video, Mel Bee starred in the third month of pregnancy. After that, the camera shows Eliot, dressed in an expensive white coat and with acid-green lenses in his eyes, the same color as the entire video clip. Then Mel Bee, also dressed in a robe and a leather corset, teases and beats her husband - Jimmy Gulzar, who also starred in the video. In the next episode, Melanie and Jimmy dance in a cage suspended from the ceiling. After Melanie crawls across the table to Gulzar, who lies on his back. Brown also had the image of a “snake girl” involved. In the last episode, the camera shows Missy Eliot, who is losing her mind.
