An upbeat sound starts straight away at the start of the song with Tinie Tempah pushing open double doors which is played in slow motion. He is dressed in a suit jacket showing his wealth. It looks like he is going into a night club to perform. There is then a quick cut and Tinie is now in a vintage Mercedes with girls in every seat.
Then we see a cut with a tracking in shot of him sitting on some boxes outside what looks like a un wealthy house singing with loads of people dancing. This could suggest that he brings a sense of brightness and fun to people, however the dancers are very well dressed as the boys expensive clothes and jewelry on such as chains and expensive watches whilst in an obviously poorer part of the area, meanwhile the girls are dressed explicitly with short shorts on and crop tops on.
There is another quick cut and they are now dancing in an ally of the area whilst the camera starts to pan round all the female dancers. The Female dancers are dancing in an explicit manner with all the boys them standing watching around them.
There is then get two quick cuts which establish what is going on in this video, Tine Tempah is suddenly dressed much more casual and is singing whilst loads of people are dancing, the dancers are all a similar type of age which suggests the type of audience this music video is aimed for. We then get another quick cut to Tinie Tempah singing "everywhere I go people want a photo" with all of the teen dancers surrounding him.
We then end up back in the night club like at the start of the music video, some girls are in the toilet telling each other what they like and what they want from a man with the lyrics saying " better pick me up in a benz, I like cruising around the west end no Netflix and chill that dead" whilst Tine is singing "what do girls like"
After this we then get another cut to change the scenery and it is of the dance floor with everyone dancing with the girls dancing sexually and wearing explicit clothing with the boys wearing expensive flashing clothing. The clip starts to get blurry suggesting everyone is drunk which creates the image that you are a part of it.
The video ends with Tine Tempah back in the poorer area in the video with him bowing to something behind the camera and then a very quick cut to a black screen.
