The video features two Jay Seans, one a singer and the other a rapper. It starts with Jay Sean the rapper trying to enter his locked up studio where Rishi Rich and Juggy D are already there. Jay Sean manages to get the door open. Just before he enters his studio room, a British and an Pakistani flag is on his door frame. The British flag is there because he was born in Britain and he put up the Pakistani flag, even though he is Indian to represent unity between the two nations. He finds that there is another Jay Sean there, the singer. He follows Jay Sean the singer to a party, where Rishi Rich, Juggy D and Madhu Singh, among others, are present. The two Jay Seans eventually face-off against each other in a rap battle where Jay Sean the singer emerges the victor.
