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.[2] She also is depicted in a nightclub and has a dance-off with other girls.
