Background
The music video, directed by Director X, was filmed in Malibu, California on May 17, 2016.[39][40] Critics commented on the summer scenery of the video. Gil Kaufman from Billboard said that the group is "dancing and serving up their best surfside poses while singing the reggae-tinged song on a picturesque beach".[41] Commenting on the video's integration of the track's themes, Anna Gaca of Spin wrote the video "takes the song's reggae-tinged vibe to its natural conclusion with a sun-kissed, oceanside party and, naturally, an appearance by guest star Fetty Wap".[14] As of October 2021, the video has over 430 million views on YouTube.[42]
Synopsis
The video begins with cinematic black bars expanding to reveal the scenery, which is set in a beach. Individual takes of the girls are shown momentarily as Dinah Jane sings the chorus. The camera shifts to Fetty Wap, who is sitting down in a chair with a guitar next to him. As he sings, the girls are seen dancing in the water, with Lauren Jauregui kicking the water as the video goes into a slow-motion take for less than a second. Several scenes include Normani alone in a rock cliff, a close-up of Dinah singing and a shot of the girls together near the water.
Ally Brooke then sings as she lays in the sand, moving sensually as an attractive man comes out of the water towards her. The camera fades to Lauren, who sings the bridge as she stands next to a background of rocks, as a take of another man is shown. The group is then scattered in different spots standing in a large rock formation, where shots of Dinah alone are spliced as she sings the chorus. Normani shares the chorus, as she sings on top of the rock cliff, shown earlier in the video. Camila Cabello seductively lays down and grabs her hair, in similarity to Ally. Several men approach the girls as they arrive in a convertible Jeep Wrangler. They greet and socialize with each other.
The scene changes to a beach-like bar equipped with cabanas and sand scattered through the floor. Each girl is dressed in beach draps and dance with a man as the scene interchanges with Fetty Wap's rap verse. A product placement for the app Friendable with the group's invitation is shown. The girls perform a dance routine in-sync as Normani and Dinah are shown individually dancing near a rock and on the sand. The video ends with each making a pose as the cinematic black bars close.
Live performances
The group performed the song for the first time on television on May 22, 2016, during a special encore performance on
