 The music video for "Naughty Girl" was directed by Jake Nava, who directed Beyoncé's videos, "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". The video is inspired by the dancing of Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire in the 1953 musical comedy film, The Band Wagon and has a Studio 54 style. Paired with Usher, Beyoncé dances seductively and flirts with him to portray a naughty girl. She felt that they were a "perfect match" for the dancing scenes in the video. According to Usher, the video is a homage to classic "ultimate entertainers"; including dancers, singers and actors. He further talked about the collaboration on the video, saying, "Beyoncé and me have been talking about doing a record together. She reached out to me and said she had an idea and really wanted me to be the lead in her video ... I was like,' Well let me hear the idea. ' It sounded like something totally different than what had been on TV."
