The music video was filmed in July 2013 by director Jessy Terrero, however, due to unknown reasons, Pitbull decided to cancel the upload of the music video.[4]
The song was initially recorded by Nicole Scherzinger, and a video of her recording the track can be found in her VH1 Behind the Music interview.[5] The song was then turned over to Nick Wells, whom recorded his version with Danny Murk[6] before being sent over to Pitbull for the final product.
