The music video is built around a remixed version of the song. The video depicts the group singing the song during a photo shoot and a concert, where a man is watching them and fantasizing about them in tight clothing as opposed to the baggy clothing they favor; ironically this foreshadowed them wearing gradually tighter and more feminine clothing from theCrazySexyCool era onwards. Hip hop duosKris Kross andIllegal appear in the video.
