Usher and Ella Mai proved they really know how to throw down poolside in the music video for “Don’t Waste My Time,” with cameos from stars like Snoop Dogg, Eric Bellinger, Evan Ross, and more. Last weekend, Usher teased the visuals for his duet with the R&B darling, which dropped in December, giving fans a taste of the bright, sunny vibe they planned to bring to these dark days. After the R&B heavyweight greets his butler in his Moroccan-style mansion with a secret handshake, he brings us to his kitchen, where Snoop is cooking up a storm. It’s then that the backyard rager begins, complete with 50s-style synchronized swimmers and appearances from Eric Bellinger, Diddy’s sons Justin and Christian “King” Combs, and the track’s producer, Jermaine Dupri, to name a few.
Like any well-rounded music video, a funny skit breaks out at around the 2:25 mark with comedian and alleged neighbour, Jamie Kennedy, and Usher’s bodyguard, who refuses to let the underdressed Kennedy into the party. After Evan Ross, another surprise cameo, seemingly gives Kennedy a “co-sign” to join the festivities, the bodyguard clarifies, “yeah, but that’s not an invitation.” Usher eventually gets him in, but not before he threatens to revoke his “honourary black card.” The party recommences, though, which is when the choreographed dance routine breaks out. The results are a night none of them will ever forget. Check out the visuals for yourself.

[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
Y’all know what this is!
[Verse 1: Usher]
My mind was changed, I’m glad you made it
Intoxicated, your vibe’s amazing
Feel the love in the air, baby, you know (You know)
Ain’t no rush, we’ve been at it, where the time go? (Oh)
You gon’ end up showin’ me now
‘Cause I done had one too many drinks
And I know that you feel me the way I been feelin’ you
And it’s cool, that you
You got a motive and I think I like it
I know all your insecurities
I hope that you’re open, my body gives notice
And I want your energy, girl, gimme that (Girl, gimme that)
[Chorus: Usher]
Good lovin’, no questions
Reach out and you’ll touch me
Bad habits, don’t judge me
Just don’t waste my time
Good lovin’, no questions, babe (Ooh)
Reach out and you’ll touch me (Ooh)
Bad habits, don’t judge me (Ooh)
Just don’t waste my time
[Verse 2: Ella Mai]
Ooh, late night
Coffee in the morning, what a date night
Better play right
Don’t be timid when you in it, better lay right (Yeah, yeah)
I know you wanna go there
I see it, stop frontin’, come here
I know you can drive it, chauffeur
Anticipate your touch down (Down)
Put me down like right now (Now)
Let’s be lovers and friends, let’s rendezvous
Boy, I got plans for you (Yeah)
‘Cause I’m motivated, I’m yours for the taking
Look no further, I got what you need (Ha, ooh)
Baby, I’m open (Yeah), you got my attention
Undivided, oh, baby, come give me that
[Chorus: Usher, Ella Mai, & Usher & Ella Mai]
Good lovin’, no questions (Good lovin’, baby)
Reach out, and you’ll touch me (Yeah)
Bad habits, don’t judge me
Just don’t waste my time (Don’t you waste my time)
Good lovin’, no questions, babe (No questions, babe)
Reach out, and you’ll touch me (Oh baby, yeah)
Bad habits, don’t judge me
Just don’t waste my time
[Bridge: Usher, Ella Mai]
Girl, it’s about to go down (Ooh)
And I ain’t here to play around (Ooh)
Ladies, if you’re here with somebody
And you know you want their body
Go and let ’em hear you say it loud
Boy, it’s about to go down (Ooh, go down)
Hear what you’re sayin’, come and show me now (Come and show me now)
Fellas, if you with somebody
And you know you want their body
Then let me hear you say it loud
[Chorus: Usher, Ella Mai, & Usher & Ella Mai]
Good lovin’, no questions (Ooh)
Reach out, and you’ll touch me (Girl)
Bad habits, don’t judge me
Just don’t waste my time
Good lovin’, no questions, babe (Ooh, no questions, babe)
Reach out and you’ll touch me (Ooh)
Bad habits, don’t judge me
Just don’t waste my time
[Outro: Ella Mai]
No, no, no, no
Just don’t waste my time
