Music video
The video premiered on Sexy Star's official website on July 8th, one day before the single release.

The video opens with a black screen, the words "The search for Jack the Ripper" appear, before it fades into the opening scene. Sexy Star is then seen in his bedroom with a girl friend as the pair laugh together. He does her make-up, and then they pour a glass of wine to get ready for the night ahead. Star is seen with rollers in his hair, as he begins to put stuff into his pink bag, including a taser and a pink gun. Could he be Jack the Ripper? SHOCK HORROR. Cut to a scene of Star in a pink limo with his friends, and they're all seen dancing along to the beat of the song as it moves into the chorus. They all pop open a bottle of champagne as the foam sprays everywhere, cutting in between various close-up shots of Star singing the lyrics to the song. The limo is then seen pulling up outside the venue, showing pink balloons and banners outside, revealing it's in fact a prom party. Sexy and his friends exit the limo, and a slow motion shot shows them all walking into the venue. Star gives an unimpressed look to everyone, as they all give him dirty looks back. Very bitchy. Sexy then grabs a friend of his and they cut through everyone on the dance floor and make their way into the middle. More dirty looks are given to the pair. Star and his friend then begin to dance once the second chorus of the song begins, all eyes on them both, most looking unimpressed. As this happens, a man sneaks away from the dance floor and walks over to the punch bowl where he pulls out a toxic potion and adds it to the punch. Could this man be Jack the Ripper after all?? Star looks over to the man and watches him poison the punch. He gasps, and then quickly reaches into his pink bag for his pink gun. He pulls it out, aims it at the man and shoots him dead, before bringing the gun to his lips and blowing the smoke from it. Everyone looks on in shock, and Star begins to shoot a few more people. But just when we think Sexy Star is Jack the Ripper, a little girl walks into the room with a giant pink gun, she points it at the dance floor and turns it on. The gun blasts everyone, as they all fall to the floor in a bloody mess. THE LITTLE GIRL IS JACK THE RIPPER. The side of her gun is seen as she giggles, saying "Queen Killer" on it. Evil bitch. The end.
