A second version featuring and co-written by American rapper Cardi B, was released on May 30, 2018, as the album's fifth and final single. The single version was included on the re-issue edition of the album. The song's accompanying music video was directed by David Dobkin, which features the band and Levine performing the song in front of a spotlight and a number of women making their appearances.
