Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"It's not about what you've done,it's about what you're doing," he aptly states over Calvin's unmistakable electronic flourishes of euphoric synths and speaker-jumping beats,which happens to soundtrack an impressive footballer-starring Pepsi Max ad campaign. Coincidentally,the final result isn't too different from the fizzy beverage;it's sparkling,addictive and sure to give you a burst of energy. . [5]
The music video was released on 14 May 2012 on Vevo. It begins with the people all around the world doing something and also exciting things before one of them goes to the club where Harris is seen DJing the party. Ne-Yo also appears boxing at a gym and in the back seat in the car singing the song.
