The video shows a behind-the-scenes setup of a man lying horizontally on a ladder in front of a large screen, followed by the actual shot of him being 'swept off his feet' by a moving car, then falling onto the road. The video then transitions to him performing a dance while lying on the ground, with text overlays of the song lyrics.

Why it worked
The video works because it uses a popular trend of showing the behind-the-scenes setup of a seemingly impossible shot, followed by the final, impressive result. The comedic element of the man being 'swept off his feet' and then performing a dance on the ground adds to its entertainment value and shareability. The use of a trending audio also boosts its discoverability.
