Chart performance


In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart with first-week sales of 46,757 copies. It is the Swedish House Mafia's fourth consecutive top 10 hit in the UK.


Music video


The music video was released via YouTube on 19 December 2011 in association with Vevo in two different versions (clean and explicit). Both videos feature a heist in a Japanese strip club, with certain people talking in Japanese. The explicit version contains violent and sexual scenes. The two videos are also cut differently, in the sense that the more graphic scenes are left out of the clean version of the video. Certain scenes are more understandable after watching the explicit version of the video.

The explicit video is filmed in first person as the protagonist and his gang put on masks and steal a briefcase in the strip club, shooting and killing many of their enemies. The protagonist escapes and gets into a van just before the driver is shot by the rival gang; the gang then shoots and presumably kills the protagonist.
