The band shared an accompanying music video, which, according to Rolling Stone, was directed by Aerin Moreno on the streets of NYC. Lil Wayne was tapped for the song halfway through, and in the music video, he can be seen performing from the inside of a smoke-filled limousine.

The comments didn't end there:
"Maroon 5 downfall needs to be studied," one fan suggested.
"craziest part is they really had the 2000s in a chokehold. nobody touched them," someone else pointed out.
"#191 debut on global Spotify with over 1.1 million plays is a solid start, even if the climb has just begun. Maroon 5 and Lil Wayne make their mark," another cheered the band on.
"Not bad for a debut—curious to see if it climbs higher in the charts," a fourth user weighed in.

"an unusual tandem, but it sounds fresh and catchy," someone else opined.
"Surprised it's not higher with those two names. The visuals are striking though - classic Maroon 5 style," another weighed in.
"Coming back after listening.. dang, Maroon 5 has evolved and I loved it. lol Wayne putting out summer vibes for real!" yet another exclaimed.
Users were visibly confused about the song's success, with many pointing out that it should have been higher, given its makers' prolific names.
