Music video

The music video is built around a remixed version of the song. The video depicts the group singing the song during a photo shoot and a concert, where a man is watching them and fantasizing about them in tight clothing as opposed to the baggy clothing they favor. Hip hop duos Kris Kross and Illegal appear in the video.
