Music video

edit

The video was filmed in Hollywood and directed by David Rousseau. It was released on August 26, 2010.[2] The video revolves around a girls-only pool party, featuring the Jersey Shore cast with track artists Lil Jon and 3OH!3.[3] Bandmember Nathaniel Motte explained: "The concept of the 'Hey' video is assemble the largest amount of hot chicks you can and throw a pool party … which is kinda crazy because we're never invited to those kind of parties."[4]
