Music video
A
music video was produced for the song that begins with the original version and transitions into the
Trackmasters remix version. It begins with a shot of
Ryan Toby and Robbie Pardlo on a computer that shows the words "Dream Girl 2001". It then cuts to a shot of Ortiz singing the first verse, and then the trio is dancing at a party as Ortiz sings. The video continues switching from Ortiz singing on a couch, the trio at the party, and Ortiz
boxing Zab Judah. As the third verse, the first not sung by Ortiz, begins, it features the guys in a car. The video switches to
Eve on a motorcycle and starting her rap. The video ends with Toby and Pardlo still in front of the computer, watching the video.
