[edit] Music video
The video was directed by Gil Green and premiered on BET's Access Granted on September 17, 2007. In the video, the song is different. In the beginning, Mario pulls up to a hot spot. He sees his female friend having an argument with her boyfriend. When her boyfriend walks off, Mario walks over to greet her. Her boyfriend jealously snatches her away from him and gets in his face. The girl, bruised, calls Mario from a payphone. They go to a club. He picks her up later and she looking over her shoulder, leaves. After they embrace, Mario drives off. They get a surprise when they notice that they are being followed by the girl's boyfriend. He tries to run them off the road but ends up crashing, killing himself. They get out to investigate and see that he is dead. The girl tearfully turns to Mario and he comforts her.
