Music video
Posner posted the music video on Vevo on February 24, 2011.[1] It features Lil' Wayne. It takes place where Posner is dating a girl, but fails to impress her. When all else fails to work, he plays "Bow Chicka Wow Wow", and the girl becomes attracted and "turned on" to him. When Lil' Wayne undergoes the same problem in the room next to Posner, he plays the song loud enough for both their girls to hear it. The girl in the black dress at the restaurant is Lyla Dee.[2]
