The video begins with a group of women on a beach at night swimming to an underwater nightclub, with Martin following them. Martin explained that filming the scene was hard for him because he had to resist without taking air for a long time, as well as having to mime the lyrics without blowing bubbles out of his mouth.<ref name="dailyrecord1"/> Upon entering the nightclub, Martin proceeds to sing "She Bangs" as he dances with the people in the club, with several scenes resembling an [[orgy]]. In one scene, Martin sees himself being [[seduction|seduced]] by mermaids and is later taken into a closet, in which he dances erotically with several women. Near the end of the visual, Martin spills a bottle of water on himself and the people nearby him. The music video concludes with him returning to the surface at daylight.<ref>{{cite video| people = Isham, Wayne (director)| title = She Bangs | medium = Television| publisher = [[Columbia Records]]| location = The Bahamas| year = 2000 }}</ref> American actor and dancer [[Channing Tatum]] makes an appearance in the video as a shirtless bartender and dancer among many other dancers, which was at the beginning of his career.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.etonline.com/music/148828_7_celebs_you_didn_t_know_were_music_videos_before_they_were_famous|title=7 Celebs You Didn't Know Were in Music Videos Before They Were Famous|last=Crossan|first=Ashley|work=[[Entertainment Tonight]]|access-date=April 7, 2021|date=July 24, 2014|archive-date=April 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210407123849/https://www.etonline.com/music/148828_7_celebs_you_didn_t_know_were_music_videos_before_they_were_famous|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8046221/celebrity-cameos-best-music-videos-channing-tatum-danny-devito|title=Channing Tatum, Danny DeVito, Diplo & More: The Best Celebrity Music Video Cameos|last=Tenreyro|first=Tatiana|magazine=Billboard|access-date=April 7, 2021|date=November 21, 2017|archive-date=April 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210407123645/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8046221/celebrity-cameos-best-music-videos-channing-tatum-danny-devito|url-status=live}}</ref>
