The song 's instrumental track is punctuated with the prominent live horn section `` Hornz Unlimited '' of Atlanta reminiscent of Earth Wind and Fire, which features Sleepy Brown singing in style inspired by the work of Motown star Marvin Gaye. Music video The song 's music video, directed by Bryan Barber, features Big Boi as the proprietor of a rim shop.

The video features an appearance from Fonzworth Bentley and another from actress Ki Toy Johnson. `` The Way You Move '' music video was designed to be shown in tandem with the video for André 3000 's `` Hey Ya !

The music video opens with Big Boi and Sleepy Brown pulling into a garage that specializes in automotive audio systems.
