Synopsis
Shai perform "Baby I'm Yours" around Howard University, moving from the campus entrance to athletic-field bleachers, dormitory areas, and the cafeteria. The group sings directly to camera while a series of female students and love interests appear throughout the campus setting. The video presents the quartet as rising young stars who remain connected to the women and community around them, giving the romantic song a distinctly collegiate and early-1990s R&B atmosphere.
