The video (directed by Philip Andelman) features a young woman (played by Zoe Kravitz) walking about New York City, spending time in her apartment, then entering a night club. The videos also features colorful imagery mixed with live-action sequences envisioned by the woman. It serves on the metaphor of what drugs can do to the mind and what it feels like to be "high".
