The video starts with Nick van de Wall (Afrojack) riding an Audi R8 in a desert-setting. In the video, Simons is depicted as a robotic dancer in a typical American schoolbus, accompanied by four background (robot) dancers. They step out of the bus and start performing a dance routine in a desert-like field with broken airplanes in the background. The girls take control of the field, to later fall out of energy, whereafter Afrojack arrives and "plugs them in", so they can continue to perform.
