Fialkov, a well-known former Sports Illustrated photographer, has directed advertisements for MTN,Engen and Wimpy. He said: "It was an amazing experience shooting with the guys from Taxi. They are a great performing group. We had lots of fun and laughs working on this project. A big thank you to Lucian Barnard (editor) from Aces UP Post Production, who did an amazing job with the edit."

Already quite risqué

"The song is really just about people getting up to no good and doing things that are regarded as wicked or 'naughty'. But instead of feeling guilty about it, they embrace it. While shooting with director Jason Fialkov on a closed set (for obvious reasons), Tanit Phoenix embraced those elements and made sure to a turn up the heat when she suggested that a 'friend' join her for a performance that was already quite risqué by nature. Her performance, our music and the director's great understanding of the music, in our opinion, was captured perfectly in true rock 'n roll bliss and embodies everything the song stands for and is abou," said George van der Spuy, lead singer of TaxiViolence.
