. The video consists of T-Boz sitting in a Rugrats-like parade float led by her dancers wearing Chuckie costumes with balloon versions of the characters up above her while singing the song. Aside from taking clips from Rugrats in Paris, intercut scenes of T-Boz dancing with children wearing Rugrats attire are shown while being a giantess holding bubblegum ropes and lying down on a pavement. At one point, a balloon version of T-Boz appears in the sky and lands in a forest setting where she comes out of the balloon. The children then play in the forest while T-Boz dances with them as the video ends.
