Music video

The video starts with a girl dancing to the song in a room, while Slimmy is watching her through a laptop. After this, the scene changes and shows several performances of Slimmy performing the song while wearing different outfits. Than, the scene changes again and shows Slimmy arriving to an abandoned factory and see two girls sleeping on a sofa. This scene is then alternated with the performance scene. After this, we see Slimmy returning to his laptop to observe the girl he was watching at the beginning of the video. The rest of the video shows the performance scene alternated with the factory scene. The video ends with a scene identical to the opening one.[2]
