Jason Lipshutz of Billboard noted the reminiscence of "Cheyenne" to the works by singer Bruno Mars. [3]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video, directed by Syndrome, premiered via Derulo's YouTube channel on June 30, 2015. [2]

The video begins in a mansion where Derulo is seen waking up tied to a chair and glued to the wall. Cheyenne is approaching him as Derulo falls through to a bed where two hands grabbed him as Cheyenne starts frightening sex with Derulo. Then, Derulo ends up in the table as a demon version of Derulo is seen sitting in front of him. Cheyenne kisses the demon Derulo, causing the real Derulo to lift the table. He then finds himself one floor below Cheyenne, but the floor collapses and Cheyenne walks away. Derulo jumps over the gap, looks for Cheyenne and ends up in the bedroom. This is intercut with scenes of Derulo wearing a purple suit and a hat, now Cheyenne activates zombified princess dancers which surround him and they break into an elaborate dance. Meanwhile, Derulo brings pictures of Cheyenne up which are set on fire. The video ends with Derulo on the chair looking at the burned photograph as it ends with a few images of Cheyenne's dark eye.

Derulo describes the character Cheyenne as a "woman in a red dress [that] haunts" him, as seen in the video. [4] [5]
