Music video
A music video was produced for the single. It was directed by Mickey Finnegan.
In the music video, an attractive woman with a large pair of hands struggles to make her way around a party without being hit on, and after having her backside unconsensually touched a couple of times, proceeds to start slapping people around the room.
Oblivious onlookers to the consequent carnage continue to touch her backside causing her to keep attacking the perpetrators. Some innocent partiers get blasted as collateral damage. One atrocity later, only her and Fresh remain, and they depart the party together.
Critical reception
Capital FM called the song "the strangest house party ever",
whereas ''Wonderland Magazine'' said it was "energetic" and said that it "looks like it could top the charts is fantastic".
In addition, the song was called "weird and wacky" during its appearance on
This Week's Fresh Music Top 20.
