Music video

An accompanying music video was released in spring 1997.

The video starts with the group on a school field trip to a museum, where they sneak away from the class to sing and dance. LeMisha begins the song wearing all blue with backup dancers wearing artifacts from the museum, marching behind her. Irish follows, wearing a green-accented outfit walking down some stairs with the artifact-decorated dancers. Kameelah is seen being carried by the same dancers, wearing a dark purple leather jacket, before being joined by the rest of the group in the middle of the museum, where they all perform choreography.

The video premiered on BET on the week ending April 13, 1997. [3]
