Composition

[edit | edit source]

"Mmm Yeah" is a dance-pop song which contains a "swirling" production, funk-influenced trumpets, a percussion-heavy four on the floor electropop beat, and influences of Chicago house, hip hop, and Latin music.[1][2][3][4][5] It is written in the key of F♯ minor. The track heavily samples lyrics from Lidell Townsell's 1992 single "Nu Nu", especially in the chorus. Lyrically, the song speaks of being rejected by an attractive woman walking down a street: "We can do whatever/ Do whatever we want/ When she walked past me I said 'hey, hey, hey' So tell me where you from where you want to go/ She walked past me like I ain't say a word".[2]

Music video

[edit | edit source]

The lyric video, directed by Rocco Valdes, Dan Roof and Tomás Whitmore, was released on January 31, 2014, and features appearances by Nash Grier, Cameron Dallas, Sam Pottorff, The Janoskians, Keira Knightley, Midnight Red, Stalker Sarah, King Bach, Teala Dunn, Madison Pettis, and Mahogany Lox.[6] The lyric video was nominated at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards in the "Best Lyric Video" category.[7]

The official music video was released on March 13, 2014, featuring Pitbull. It was directed by Gil Green, who previously worked with Mahone for his "Banga! Banga!" music video. Throughout the video, Mahone and Pitbull are shown dancing with girls inside a moving room on a static floor with speakers and a couch, a concept reminiscent of the 1996 video for "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai.[8][9] This music video was certified in the digital platform Vevo on February 3, 2015, and it's Mahone's second Vevo Certified.
