Background
The music video for the track was shot in early June 2012 and premiered towards the end of the month as 'Part 1' of Regina's online viral video series. It was directed by Trudy Bellinger. The video ends with the implication of rape and received minor controversy from the press, but has been critically acclaimed for its "plot twist". Other's criticized the video for having zero connection with the song's lyrics.

Synopsis
The video begins with Regina in a dance studio, practicing a routine to "Sydney". The music cuts out and she sits on the floor and sighs. The camera zooms up to Regina as she supports her head with her hand. The camera goes closer and closer into her eye and we are brought to our next scene, a flashback. The text "Two Days Earlier" appear in the screen in bold pink writing. Regina and a friend enter a masquerade party and walk down the main stairway. Regina's friend nudges her and points towards a man. Regina smirks to herself and walks over to him. She approaches the masked male and begins casually flirting with him. We see his eyes stare at her breasts, but she remains oblivious and continues chatting with him. The pair begin dancing and everyone stops what their doing to watch them. At one stage, he lifts her into the air and spins her around as the crowd watch in awe. They then kiss passionately. After a while, Regina's friend from the beginning of the video re-appears and can be seen to be warning Regina of the guy. Subtitles saying "He is only after one thing!" appear. Regina, insulted, ignores her friends pleas ells her to get lost and to mind her own business. The camera now focuses on the guy, who is smirking. We are shown a shot of his mobile, and he is sending a message saying "Yeah plan on riding her tonight man, see u tomorow". What Regina didn't tell her friend was that she was already one step ahead of her. Regina tells the guy that he is not going to get what he wants and subtitles appear on the screen, depicting her saying "You can go and royally &@!% yourself!", before kicking him in the balls. He falls to the ground in pain as Regina walks away. Regina changes her attire and goes to an "after-prom" house party later that night and hooks up with a guy. What she doesn't know is that it is the same guy in the mask from the masquerade ball earlier. They talk, dance and kiss throughout the night. His eyes are on her breasts and it is clear he still has one thing on his mind. When the song finishes, the camera shows police footage of an interview with Regina where she says "And that's when I told him: But I poop from there!", implying that she was anally raped.
