Encyclopedia
Fall for Your Type is a song by R&B singer and actor Jamie Foxx
. As the third official single from his album Best Night of My Life, the song features Canadian recording rapper/singer Drake
. The song went to number-one on the Billboard R&B chart, making it Foxx's second hit to do so behind "Blame It
."
.
The music video starts with Jamie Foxx and Drake's names appearing on screen with a cloudy dark sky backdrop, and as the music starts the names disappear and the words "fall for your type" shatter as Foxx is falling from a building in a suit.
Foxx, in the next scene, is in his penthouse, wearing shades, thinking about his love interest and the moments they had together. Especially one where he is with her, watching her sleep.
Shots of him falling from a building appear throughout the video.
In another scene his love interest is seen, supposedly angry and they are yelling at each other, and she eventually pushes him, and he falls back because he would have slipped on her purse.
As Drake appears in a dark backdrop, Jamie is seen in the left back, falling with shattered glass in mid-air.
The next scenes involve furniture such as vases and lamps being thrown to the ground in slow motion, and Jamie's love interest throwing a couple of wine glasses and a painting to the ground. Jamie is seen sitting on a couch, facing broken glass in his penthouse, his tattoo being shown.
More scenes display the two, Jamie and his love interest being intimate, switching to him walking through the mess of the shattered glass.
Drake is introduced talking to his love interest close, in her ear, who seems at first to have her back turned to him.
Jamie and his companion are seen at a gathering, flirting. Then in the next scene they are fighting over the phone to the extent that she drops her phone in a glass of champagne.
At the end of the video, Jamie hears a doorbell and goes to get it. Its his love interest; she mouths the words "I love you," and he lets her in.
This was previously leaked with just a Drake verse which was written for Jamie. However Jamie Foxx finally finished the song and Drake adds a new verse.
