Accusations of Plagiarism

The song has been noted to have the same beat and vocal melody as Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er", found on their 1973 album "House of the Holy".

Music video

The video was shot in Miami, and features cameos by Rick Ross and DJ Khaled. Kingston's girlfriend is played by fashion model Kirby Griffin. In the music video version, "sip piña coladas" is removed because of the reference to alcohol, while left intact on radio stations.
