Remixes

An official remix was made featuring AC & Krayzie Bone.

An unofficial remix also surfaced across the internet, created by DJ Batch. It has a become a huge hit across Bebo and YouTube, along with blogs and flashboxes. It has a faster tempo and is said to have a "sexier sound". However, this version of the song is not copyrighted by DJ Batch and therefore is not for sale on iTunes or in stores.

Music video

The music video is very faithful to the song, and has been very positively received. The video features Ne-Yo and his girlfriend on a beach-like area. His girlfriend continuously shown to be angry at him, as different girls who see him are flirting with him. Ne-Yo also invites his girlfriend to a photo shoot, but she ends up getting mad because the photos require him to have women draped over him. At the end, his girlfriend is shown angry again. Ne-Yo gives the camera a wink and makes his way over to her. Throughout the video, during the pre-chorus and chorus, the video shows various women (and one little girl) expressing anger.
