Music video

The music video starts out with a mother telling her daughter to come to the diner table immediately, presumably inside a cruise ship, while she's standing on her bed inside her bedroom. Once the daughter comes and sits down at the diner table, E-Type wants to draw attention by tapping his empty glass with a spoon. Once E-Type draws everyone's attention, he starts playing his guitar and then the daughter shrugged and later rolls her eyes. The daughter stares at E-Type and fantasizes about being in paradise, which is essentially a E-Type concert with her partying to the music with her friends and along with almost everybody seated at the diner table as well. A man and a women stare at each other at the diner table, then the daughter looks around for a crush and ends up glancing at a middle aged man at the table and him back, leading to another fantasy about partying at a E-Type concert. The music video has over 678K views on YouTube as of May 2020.[6]
