It was first released onto YouTube by Takeover Entertainment Ltd, on Thursday 5 July 2007, at a total length of three minutes and forty-five seconds. The music video is set in computer-generated imagery and sees Tinchy Stryder’s ability to bring an upbeat and unique pop rap angle to his original grime sound, he then proceeds with rhymes over a melodic beat, cheeky lyrics and catchy hook.
