As the video progresses, Wang can be seen trying to impress a girl with all his dancing skills, this is where the homage to Michael Jackson can be seen. Jackson recreates some scenes from the famous MJ song The Way You Make Me Feel. Whereas, the choreography in this segment also looks inspired by Michael Jackson. 

However, the artist quickly departures from the MJ tribute and shows off his dancing skills in a solo performance while being drenched in rains before the Galantis squad quickly joins in. While the entirety of the video is over five minutes long, the actual music video lasts only for three and a half minutes. Whereas, the remaining time has been given to showcase the behind the scenes footage and credits.
