The track features a goofy behind-the-scenes footage music video of the two recording in the studio and performing onstage together. In the black and white footage, the two trade melodic verses and Malone looks particularly clean cut, looking dapper in a turtleneck. “Me and this guy right here, he’s the genius behind everything and we’re just makin’ trouble,” Malone tells the camera in a clip that introduces the video.
