Music video
The "We Like 2 Party" music video was shot on Jeju Island on May 19, 2015. It features self-recorded footage from the members themselves; the members were drunk during the filming in order to have a more natural feeling for the music video, "You'll be able to see the comfortable image of Big Bang rather than a more weighted-down Big Bang." said a rep from the agency. The music video showed a carefree side of Big Bang, playing, party and drinking alcohol, unlike their other songs, who have been known for their powerful image. Billboard noted that Big Bang showed a playful side of themselves and their strong friendship.
The music video was the third-most-viewed K-Pop video both in America and worldwide on June by Billboard. "We Like 2 Party" was also chosen as one of the best music videos of June 2015, being described as "casual and inviting feeling the music video gives off from start to finish...unscripted, ridiculous, and easily gets us into the party mood."
