[2] A preview of the official video clip was shown on Sunrise on 2 April 2012, [22] and the full video premiered online later that day. [20] Ninemsn's MusicFix commented that the video "is certainly eye-catching, partly because it's packed with fluoro-bright colours and perfectly-timed dance routines, but also because the Aussie pop darling has no pants on". [23] Take 40 Australia compared the dance routines in the video to Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" music video. [24]

The video begins with Coulter and her dancers walking down a street parade, while several men are shown playing drums to the song. Coulter is wearing a black top, white jacket, underpants and Adidas sneakers. She performs choreographed routines with her dancers, while being surrounded by people who are dressed in bright colours and holding up balloons and flags. The video then cuts to Coulter singing in front of a brick backdrop, wearing a bright yellow top and colourful skirt. It then returns to Coulter and her dancers at the street parade, this time performing on a stage. Towards the end of the video, Coulter and her dancers are dressed in black and performing inside a dance studio in front of a large pink "Ricki-Lee" sign. [20]
