Music video

The music video starts at the last scene of the video for "Flap Your Wings", Nelly's girlfriend and her friends catch Nelly up the hill with a girl and his girlfriend asks who she is. Nelly tries to explain but his girlfriend is too reluctant to listen and throws her chain at him. Nelly picks it up and takes it with him. Nelly tries to get reach of his girlfriend by sending presents and text but she declines his text and ignores his gift. Nelly tries to make things up with his girlfriend but she refuses and pushes him and goes back into her fashion boutique shop and throws his gift in the camera. Nelly continues rapping until the next scene is when his ex-girlfriend is with her mates at a restaurant and making their imaginations. She imagines of her and her ex-boyfriend having sex. Nelly and his girlfriend are in a black screen thinking about each other and realising how they have feelings for each other and how much they love each other and Nelly throws a photo frame containing a picture of him and his girlfriend inside it and his girlfriend appears to be crying. At a summer club, Nelly tracks down his girlfriend and they talk and Nelly apologizes and puts the necklace she threw at him before back on her neck and they finally make up and embrace.
