The lyrics and visuals correlate, such as when Star says "I can't control myself" while dressed as a woman. The video uses eye-level shots and close-ups of sexual scenes to make the audience feel like voyeurs and create tension. It references Lady Gaga for the visual image and 18+ films for its sexuality.
