Music video
editThe video shows Jeremih searching for a job and going around town to impress others, in attempts to show he is rich. He fails and others are disgusted by him. During the video he is seen flirting with a girl. He invites her into his car, where they watch a television that has been taped to the back of the headrest. He takes her to a club where he unsuccessfully attempts to bribe the bouncer with coins. After being rejected, they head to a drive-through fast-food chain, where Jerimih buys his companion a half-eaten hot dog (the saleswoman eats half of it, as collateral for him not being able to pay for a full one.) Disgusted by this, his date leaves him at the drive-through. The video finishes with Jeremih waking up to the fact that his follies were just a dream, and that he is indeed wealthy.
The video was ranked at #89 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.
