The video takes place primarily in a bowling alley called Suburban Lanes. It’s pretty much just Big Boi grandstanding with a crew of buddies dancing behind him, or perhaps a squadron (get it?). The song feels like an “I’m back” statement, Big Boi proclaiming, “One-half of the OutKast return like Ghost of Christmas Past” (whatever that means). The track features a spoken epilogue by Dungeon Family member Big Rube, who plainly explains the reasoning behind the song title: “Sir Lucious puts his left foot forward and rides off into the horizon with no regression. Victorious.” Aren’t we lucky Big Boi shares a surname with a badass World War II general instead of…let’s say General Petraeus?
The beginning of the video serves as another preview of the album, i.e. a clip from “Feel Me”, the LP’s opening intro track.
