Music video

The music video directed by Justin Francis was shot on April 19, 2007 at Universal Studios and features WWE Divas Kelly Kelly and Layla El along with former Divas Maryse Ouellet, Ashley Massaro, Torrie Wilson and Brooke Adams. The video premiered during Raw on May 21, 2007.[1] The video looks almost like a version of Sin City, where "The Baby Faces" (a reference to the term face in Pro Wrestling) consisting of Torrie, Maryse and Ashley take on Brooke, Kelly and Layla in a wrestling match. Timbaland and The Hives declare a winner at the end of the video. The winner announced, however, varies. In most markets, it is said to be "The Baby Faces". However, there is a video where "Extreme Exposé" is the winner. The video clip ends with "To be continued...". The video has reached #11 on Top 20 ReVamped. It was also #76 on MTV Asia's list of Top 100 Hits of 2007.[2] The video is being used as the lead single in Latin America.
