Music video

[edit | edit source]

The music video, directed by Alex Herron, was shot on 14 September 2010 in Los Angeles and Death Valley, California.[1][2] The video premiered on YouTube on 12 October 2010 through the Spinnin' Records account, and later shown to the British public on 20 October 2010 through the Data Records account.[3][4]

The video starts with Afrojack driving an Audi R8 in a desert. Simons, depicted as a robotic dancer in a quite stereotypical yellow American school bus, is accompanied by four robotic background dancers. They step out of the bus and perform a high-energy dance routine in a desert aircraft boneyard, with Simons framed in an L-1011 Rolls-Royce RB211 engine cowling. The girls take control of the field, but fall out of energy, and Afrojack arrives and plugs them in so that they can continue performing.
