Jason Derulo is in need of approval for his latest music video, “Hands on Me” with Meghan Trainor — released on Wednesday (Dec. 13) — and Paris Hilton is in the label executive seat with judging eyes.
The video kicks off with Derulo making an impassioned plea to the suited “Stars Are Blind” singer about putting unique spins on beloved classics, some of which include his and Trainor’s own material.
“Picture this — Hollywood goes country. From billy trucks to tractor trucks. From “All About That Bass” to mud on your face, from “Wiggle Wiggle” to stroking my fiddle. Form “It girl, to s–t girl,” he tells Hilton, who replied, “Remakes are huge right now. Okay Jason, let’s see it.”
The video then enters a sitcom like format, with Derulo and Trainor having to adjust to life on a farm. Derulo quickly becomes smitten with the next door neighbor, who invites him in to unclog her toilet which is so filthy, it causes him to vomit. On the other side of the fence, Trainor gets up to more glamorous activities and applies makeup to her face while watching Derulo milk a cow, and takes her mini tractor — which she later crashed into a tree — out for a daytime spin.
“So, baby, put your hands (Hands) on me (On me)/ Both your hands (Hands) on me (On me)/ Right now (Right now), you’re the only (You’re the only) one I need,” the duo sings, a nod to Ben E. King’s 1961 classic “Stand By Me.”
The video ends up being a hit with Hilton in the end — she gives the visual a thumbs up with not one, but two of her signature catchphrases: “Loves it. That’s hot.”
