Wiki

Synopsis

A woman in a panda mask takes Cro's place as she delivers the lyrics while moving through an apartment filled with comic, surreal and slightly chaotic scenes. The action follows the song's playful shifts between boasts, relationship frustrations and punchline-heavy wordplay. Later, she leaves the apartment and continues performing outdoors, riding through a skatepark and around the neighborhood. The video keeps Cro himself largely out of view, turning the masked female performer into the clip's central presence and giving the track an offbeat visual identity.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video premiered in Germany on November 23, 2011, ahead of the release of Cro's debut mixtape, "Easy."
  • Production was deliberately modest. Cro and the label worked with the Codeacht team, while the mask makeup was created by a friend of the production team and members of the cast came from their personal circle.
  • Cro was involved in the production rather than simply appearing as the performer. The clip helped establish the panda-mask image that became central to his early public identity.
  • The video's rapid online spread played a major role in Cro's breakthrough. It passed one million YouTube views in early 2012 and continued accumulating views before "Easy" was issued as a single in March 2012.
  • The song uses a sample from Bobby Hebb's "Sunny," while its lyrics also take inspiration from that track.
