Music video

The music video was directed by Spike Jordan and opens with a claymation of Gunna on a hot air balloon floating in the clouds.[2][3] It crashes after being flicked by a belly dancer.[4] The video then switches to live-action, with Gunna lying on a field beside the deflated balloon. He wakes up and walks to a Moroccan village nearby,[2] wandering in its streets and then partying with the locals.[5][6]
