It is Jay Sean's second video after "Dance with You (Nachna Tere Naal)". Its video was first debuted on MTV India's First Cut. The song gained a lot of positive reviews from audiences. In Britain, it gained moderate success.
The video features two Jay Seans, one a singer and the other a rapper. Throughout the music video, Jay Sean is depicted with various British Asians (of South Asian origin).

Just before he enters his studio room, a British flag and a Pakistani flag are shown adorning the doorknob. He finds that there is another Jay Sean there, the singer. He follows Jay Sean the singer to a party, where Rishi Rich, Juggy D and Madhu Singh, among others, are present.
