Paul said that when creating the song, he freestyled parts of it.

A music video for the song was released. It was directed by Little X. The video goes through all of the seasons. Paul dances with women with leaves falling, in the snow, and under an umbrella in the rain. The women lay on the beach while beachball fly through the air.
