Music video
The music video features computer cartoon animation. It starts with Who is Fancy swimming in a pool. The main point features him wearing a suit singing in front of a prison line while "Crossing the Line". Trainor is seen wearing a pink swim suit. After she is seen lying on a deck chair in cartoon form she falls into the pool and is pulled out by the pool cleaner. She is also seen singing with Fancy in the prison in a purple dress. Next, we see Ariana Grande (With very big eyes) in a white skirt in cartoon form baking a cherry pie for the pool cleaner. As she attempts to give it to him, he knocks her into the pool and she is rescued by him with his pool net like Trainor was. Next, we see her wearing a purple skirt with Fancy and Trainor in the jail cell. The video ends with Fancy being locked in the pool service truck by Trainor and Grande after Fancy blowing a kiss.
