The video was filmed in August 2005 in the Dominican Republic. This video was shot with mostly natural lighting using mirrors and bounce boards as the locations were so remote that there were no cables available long enough to connect to the generator. Some of the models were brought from Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and Puerto Rico and two were local models from the Dominican Republic. This video was commissioned by Interscope for StarTrak. Pharrell was flown into the area of the location and then brought by boat to the beach as the roads were too dangerous for access after a hard rain the night before his performance shot. Robin was also brought by boat to the beach locations and had to be driven in by 4WD to the waterfalls.
