The song's accompanying music video, shot by Director X, tells a story of the first time when Ciara and Future met. Aside from Future, the video featured cameo appearances from artists including Trinidad James and Ludacris. The video received positive reviews from critics as well as from musical peer Nicki Minaj. The song's official remix was released on May 16, 2013 and features Future and B.o.B. Ciara performed the single for the first time on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in June 2013. The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Treasure by Bruno Mars, but won for "Best Dance Performance" at the 2013 Soul Train Music Awards.
