editThe music video starts with will.i.am standing outside an arts and crafts store. A boy comes up holding a speaker, which he holds up to the screen. will.i.am sees this and tries to take the speaker, but it is stuck to the screen. Once he gets it off, he himself gets sucked into the screen. While will.i.am is singing his verse, apl.de.ap and Taboo see him stuck to the screen, they also get stuck to the screen and drop all their food and drinks. Kim Hill is seen in the video but she and the other people in the background do not get stuck to the screen.
