The music video, which was helmed by German director Marcus Nispel and filmed in the World Trade Center, features her and Puff riding up and down escaltors while rapping. Kim makes reference to Adina Howard's hit single "Freak Like Me" in the songs lyrics when she says:"...your girl ain't a freak like me, or Adina". Kim makes a reference to the video in the 2003 song "(When Kim Say) Can You Hear Me Know " off the album La Bella Mafia, saying "...im the same bitch on the escalator", and also in the 2005 single Whoa when she says: "...told you I'm the same bitch from the escalator".
