The video features a number of shirtless male character sitting in a tree, covering their eyes, with teal body paint on their torsos, while a voice is heard asking, ‘Who are you?’

Another voice responds, ‘I know exactly who I am, the question is who are you?’ as the first voice says, ‘I’m nobody, so leave me alone,’ while we see footage of a number of different people covering their eyes.

‘Everybody is somebody, even a nobody,’ the second voice adds, as we see more footage of men with similar body paint and headdresses on.

The second voice asks the first to follow him and he will show him, as we see Beyonce clad in the same teal paint stripes all over her body before she gets into the song performance.
