The video commences with Inna and Antonia entering the building after nodding to each other. Afterwards, the latter walks to a hall full of partying people while taking and  developing photographs. Meanwhile, Inna is shown sitting on a mask-designed chair surrounded by males in tie in a white room. Stan, dressed in red lingerie, is displayed with a man which she later ties up to a chair in the video and steals his money. Fellow band member Lori then walks in a neon-green room where both lesbian and gay couples are shown kissing, with the latter being portrayed in a bathtub letting a glass of water falling on one's body. She subsequently writes "911" on a mirror, and all the band members are shown dressing neon  and sparkling outfits in order to be visible in the dark. After Lori mixes up some pink drinks, the visual ends with them walking out of the building while throwing all the frames that were taken by Antonia in the beginning on the floor. Scenes interspersed through the main video show the band performing to the track close to each other in light or dark places. Credits and personnel. Credits adapted from Top Românesc.
