The video was shot under Zylofon Music in Texas, USA and directed by ace Nigerian Video director Sesan.
Production credit however, goes to David Nguyen. The video, according to his management, Zylofon Music, is the most expensive video ever shot in the ‘taking over’ hitmaker’s music career.
In Texas alone, the video was shot in two locations namely, the cities of San Antonio and Blanco.
It tells the story of an extraordinary ‘cowboy’ who finds his way into a small town. This town is filled with all the typical ‘cowboy’ town characters such as crooks, gamblers, drunkards and wild women.
And of course, that cowboy is El Shatta Wale who is seen all dressed up in a traditional cowboy-inspired costume. He compliments his looks with a cowboy action gun which perfectly suits the concept.
