[edit] Music Video

The video shows some girls dressed up as foxes. Wiley does not seem to be in the video. Rumours were that he was scared of foxes but Wiley said that he is 'scared of no animal' and if he saw foxes at night he would feed them 'chicken bones'. The video is filmed around Finsbury Leisure Centre, which is, rather oddly, not in Finsbury, but in Islington.^{[citation needed]}
