Music video

In the music video, the boys walk out of a mall and Omarion meets a girl (Jennifer Freeman). He gets her phone number and then the girl's father, Mr. Biggs (Ronald Isley), comes along and tells him to stay away from his daughter, which is also repeated by his bodyguard (Big Boy). The girl in the car tells Omarion to give her a call and then the car drives away. Then the guys start to dance once the music begins and they are all dressed in white. The video then goes to a scene where Omarion and the girl are planning a date over the phone. However, both of them are unaware that Mr. Biggs is listening to the conversation on another line and he orders his security guards to kidnap Omarion. J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil' Fizz call up a woman (Vivica A. Fox) and tell her what happened. A man (Flex Alexander) pulls up in a parking lot where the guys are waiting and takes them to see the Godfather (Will Smith), who orders them to save Omarion. The guys break into Mr. Biggs' house, fight the guards and rescue Omarion. Mr. Biggs walks in to see that Omarion is gone and his guards have been beaten. Then the Godfather calls him and asks him to "let it go" and Mr. Biggs accepts and lets Omarion date his daughter. The video ends with Omarion asking the girl to be his girlfriend and she accepts.
