Live performances

Green has performed the song live several times, including appearances on the The Jonathan Ross Show on October 1, 2011, and BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on October 4. He was expected to perform the song live during the live finals of The X Factor on October 9, 2011 but instead sang a medley of "Satisfied" and "Forget You".[1]

Music video

The music video features Jaleel White performing as Cee-Lo Green, as Green was unavailable for filming at the time.[2] The video features White leaving his girlfriend (Tanya Chisholm), and claiming to feel like the bad guy for doing so. He is subsequently surrounded by a group of people in the street, who begin dancing alongside him and performing the song.[3]
