A music video for the song was released on August 14, 2014.[3] Rapper Tyga makes a cameo appearance in the video.[3]

Usher appears standing in a high large structure upon a pool with a girl wearing a red colored long dress. When the video comes to rapper Rick Ross, he's shirtless in a white room and sitting in a white chair. The music video ends with Brown and some dancers are dancing in the front of fire.
