Synopsis
Boyz II Men turn a night of romance into a playful, sensual getaway. The video opens with the quartet getting dressed together in a large closet before moving to a resort-like setting. Wearing coordinated blue suits and robes, they perform the song amid scenes suggesting a lively house party filled with flirtation and adult energy. The polished choreography and deliberately seductive atmosphere present a different side of the group from the earnest ballad style that would soon become their trademark.
