Music video[edit | edit source]
The music video premiered on January 25, 2012.
The video opens with Blonde and a load of dancers in black trench coats, seen in front of a light grey backdrop, like the one seen on the single covers. They begin a slow, robotic-like dance routine, before the beat fully kicks in and Blonde and her dancers break out into a complex, fast-paced routine for the chorus, the backdrop flashing from the light grey to black at rapid speed. For the second verse, the back drop returns to the usual light grey as seen at the start, Blonde holds her arms out either side of her as her dancers get pushed away at rapid speed and off screen. In slow motion, a gush of water falls from the top of the screen and down onto Blonde, the camera purposely having a load of water drops on it, Blonde removes her trench coat and is seen in a sexy black tube top and shorts, she whips her hair and the special effects come back into play, her hair extends to a crazy length and swishes past the camera, clearing the water drops off of it. The dancers drop from the top of the screen and back around her as they all dance again for the chorus, a load of super powerful fans now on them (that are off screen). As the chorus ends, the backdrop suddenly turns into a club and then Blonde is seen in the middle of a crowd on the dance floor, she pushes past them all and makes her way onto a lit-up stage where her dancers already are. She winks to the camera just before the final chorus hits and her and her dancers perform the routine one last time as bursts of flames come out from the back of the stage. The chorus ends, and the last shot is of Blonde in a messed up bedroom, putting a pillow over her head.
