Music video

In the beginning of the video, Ludacris appears in a background of cold, blue mountains that resemble a utopia.cite web|url=http://us.video.aol.com/video.full.adp?pls=music.archive.440972.All.sort&start=22&startid=1123889|title=Splash Waterfalls Video|accessdate=2006-12-05|] Next, the scene turns to Sandy Coffee when she sings make love to me, with a football jersey (which is yellow and blue), which is the same as the Football team cheering behind her. The camera rapidly zooms into the crowd of the fans. Then, the camera shows Ludacris in football equipment and a bandana approaching a light-skinned cheerleader in a blanket, rapping while holding her face. Then the background of the clouds shows, as Sandy serenades her solo, and Ludacris appears at distance rapping around the clouds. Then, he shows up once more with the cheerleader, on the blanket, then on the clouds again. This happens constantly as the video goes on. A woman painted in blue, with blue hair, who resembles the Mystique character shows up the video. The camera shows a small close up of them together. Sandy's part plays usually after Ludacris says a lustful verse. Ludacris call and respond verses through the whole song.

The following scene, shows a couple at a restaurant; a waiter passing by them. This blocks their scene, as the Ludacris and his love interest become very intimate. Also in the scene, they are shown at a diner table. As Ludacris appears in the sky once more, the blue-haired, and dotted face-woman's face show. The gestures in the video coordinate with the lyrics such as this verse: "Dinner's by candlelight - say it (make love to me)"

The woman urges Ludacris for attention. Surprisingly, this woman passes out after he strokes the left side of her face causing the waiter to trip over her leg, and falls and drops a tray.

A woman, who is on her job types on her computer a search for Ludacris. A video streamer shows, and suddenly a video of Ludacris shows shortly but reappears several times. Ludacris, on his computer raps while typing in a robe. Supposedly, he is located in a secret basement room. The woman and Luda trade back messages. Ludacris touches the face on the screen. Interestingly, other unexplained girls show around. A person in a red hat dances onto the beat in the skies. Next, Luda and a girl are found in a library in between bookshelves. Ludacris sits in a chair reading a book on the left side, on the right a girl is pushing a cart of books. The book has the title of "Kama Sutra" and he opens it and reads, he wears a pair of reading glasses. The girl places a book on a shelve, while slowly, Ludacris tilts his glasses. The woman turns herself around, through the space left from the book Luda chose. He looks at her, as she relaxes, and reads some of the book, though mainly watches her actions.

He raps, again in the skies, then again on the wheel chair with a book in his hand. The lady backs up against the shelves slowly and seductively. In addition, the blue woman who appears to be able to fly appears in the skies. Back to the library scene, the tall-slender woman pushes back the cart as books fall off. She falls down to the floor slowly as well. Next, Luda and a woman hold each other while in a mansion. This scene is interrupted with the guy with the red hat dancing. Then him and the other person show on the blue-sky background. Next, the girl removes Ludacris's shirt. This continues, until the camera shows a Ludacris in a jailhouse, with the inmate attire on. As he watches two people in distance walk past him. One of the people is an attractive woman who supposedly is working for the police and a white police officer walking away from the other two. The woman walks up to him and sits on his lap. Their reactions pertains the lyrics of the song. As the scene ends with the woman grabbing on Ludacris and a shot of the police officer, the picture of Ludacris on his computer shows.

Then, a woman enters his room, massaging his shoulders. The two unexplained women earlier mention show on a computer, then their scene fades out . A picture of Ludacris and the woman he is with appear on a video screen. Then the woman, at her office angrily knocks some wires off her desk. Continuing on, Ludacris and another woman appear by a pool. Then they are seen at the pool in the video's mansion, and the woman jumps in the pool, while Luda watches. Once more, Luda searches on his computer. The woman at her job, incidentally fries her computers hardware when she types. In the pool area, the woman completely naked, jumps in the pool, and Ludacris at the pool's edge and he drops his boxers around his ankles, and throws his arms up into the air in the shape of the letter "v", and the girl in the pool looks at him stunded while she holds her right arm over her chest.
