Music video
A music video for the song was released by AtlanticVideos, on October 2, 2009. The video was shot in Los Angeles. The video begins on planet earth where the camera zooms in at a hotel where B.o.B and other party people (this was related to Magic) partying inside the hotel. The next scene shifts in on a beach where a group of girls are lying down in the sand with their bikinis on and B.o.B raps his verse while walking and passing other girls. Then, the final scene shows B.o.B and Jack Johnson competing in a surf contest to see who will win. At the end of the video, B.o.B falls off the board and the woman (played by Keri Hilson) rescues him (reminiscent of Pamela Anderson) and kisses him on the cheek and the camera zooms out to Earth., Retrieved 2010-11-05.
