The music video premiered on the show OnSet, at the popular Canadian music station Much Music, which took viewers behind the scenes on the set of "Baby Doll". It was directed by Matt McDermitt.

The video starts off with the girls in metallic mini dresses and fur, singing in a green Cadillac with hydraulics. They move on to singing in separate scenes of them dancing outside the Cadillac, with the hood up. The Girlicious group then goes onto the "party scene" performing with male back-up dancers and ends with the girls having pink money falling from above. The video was shot in Los Angeles, at the Quixtoe Studios and was overseen by Robin Antin and Mikey Minden, which was released on iTunes on November 20, 2008.
