Background

In an interview with Billboard, Taio said that fans can expect more uptempo dance tracks on his forthcoming album. Talking to Billboard, Cruz explained: "The new album will be out by the end of the year; it will be out before Christmas. The new single will be out very, very soon as well." He also said "It's definitely going to be more of the uptempo, fun, energetic vibe that you've heard on 'Break Your Heart', 'Higher' and 'Dynamite'." Speaking about potential collaborations, Cruz revealed: "There are a few guests—David Guetta and Ludacris ('Little Bad Girl')—but we have a couple more on there that will be good surprises too."[1]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Hangover" was released to YouTube on October 25. It lasts for a total length of four minutes and forty-nine seconds. Flo Rida makes a cameo in the video, which sees Cruz driving a speed boat down a high street. The clip also includes actor and comedian Bobby Lee dressed as a bear, being bottle-fed in a cot, and also visualises a party on a private jet. The video ends with a short scene in which Lee picks out "a black outfit" from a closet full of black outfits, then proceeds to dance, begging Cruz to not to fire him.[2][3]
