The music video sees the couple's love story develop from a white t-shirt and jeans-clad Shawn watching Camila from a booth at the diner, to her cuddling up on his motorbike to the most talked-about scene, a sizzling clinch in a hotel room.

While the duo's followers were fanning themselves from the heat, even the Fifth Harmony star admitted that shooting the steamy scenes made both her and her co-star "nervous". In a live chat with fans, she revealed: "The whole music video was funny because we were both really nervous, I had to drink a lot of wine!" she said.

The song has been in the making for the past nine months and Camila couldn't wait to team up again with Shawn, whose chemistry likely stems from their close four-year friendship. "We’ve known each other for about four years now, and I really love Shawn as a person and he’s always been there for me. I’m lucky I found someone like that early on when I started this," said the singer.

Her co-star returned the praise, saying, "Working with [Camila] is a dream." He enthused, "She is the most creative most fun most empathetic person I know."
