The music video premiered on June 25, 2006, after the season two finale of 'Hogan Knows Best', in which Hogan prepares and then films the video for the song. The song is the first single released by Scott Storch's record label, Storch Music Company. Hogan was the first person signed to this record label.

Music video



The budget for the video was $300,000 and was shot in California. In the video, Brooke does a work-out/dance routine in a gym with a jump rope. Later, she goes to a club and dances along with her backup dancers. The video ends in the club with a dance competition between Brooke's "crew" and a rival crew. In some scenes she is seen wearing rhinestone-encrusted sunglasses, a pair of grills given to her by Paul Wall for her 18th birthday.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070101132232/http://celeb.cosmogirl.com/entertainment/archives/2006/11/she_loves_her_grill.html She loves her grill] 'Celeb.cosmogirl.com' She also is depicted in a nightclub and has a dance-off with other girls.

The video premiered on 'Hogan Knows Best' on June 25, 2006. The music video also premiered on 'Total Request Live' on July 24, 2006 as a PRE-RL. Later on, 'WWE Raw' premiered the video.

A snippet of this video was seen on 'The Soup' weeks later, infamously mocking the lyrics '"I'm just trying to live, but you're all up in my grill..."'.
