The Hip Hop group’s members - will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap were dangerously close to being caught in the devastation and have dedicated the video to the victims in Japan.
In the film, Fergie lounges in a hotel room wearing nothing but a man’s shirt while cutaways take you to a trendy nightclub scene with erotic dancers.
At the start of the video the crew have added a message: “This video was filmed in Japan one week before the earthquake and tsunami. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We love you,” it says.
At the end of the video, by Interscope Records, the band gives details of how fans can donate to the relief effort.
