"City Girls"'s official music video was released on December 4, 2020. It was directed by Brown’s frequent collaborator, and ex-tour photographer Jake Miosge. [3] The video was filmed in downtown Los Angeles, and features a 1940s gangster scenario.

HipHopDX praised it for its "cinematic experience", also complimenting Brown's dancing. [4]
Narrated by Lillo Brancato Jr., who starred in the movie A Bronx Tale directed by Robert De Niro, [3] the clip finds Chris Brown at a downtown Los Angeles burlesque "cabaret-style" club, [6] where he falls for a dancer, who hypnotizes him with her moves. But moments later, chaos erupts when Young Thug walks in. Intercut with plenty of footage of Brown dancing, the video eventually erupts into violence between the duo and the local mobsters. Despite a hail of bullets, Brown escapes unscathed with the lady on his arm. [3]
