Prior to filming the video, Mariah Carey had toned her body and lost a reported twenty pounds. Due to her slim-down physique, she and director Brett Ratner wanted to flaunt Carey's new figure as much as possible throughout the video.
After receiving the call to play the lead role, Jack McBrayer was so shocked by the proposal that he didn't believe it at first.
Jack McBrayer accidentally threw Frisbee into Mariah Carey's face, jokingly adding "I threw a Frisbee in Mariah Carey's face! I'm like, I'm fired!"
