Synopsis
The video begins with Zendaya and other kids entering a school where several people crowded the hallways and others walk into the classroom. Zendaya enters the room and sits at a desk, puts her headphones to listen to "Swag It Out" and eventually falls asleep. According to the beginning of the track, the singer appears in a patio interacting with other college students and beginning to dance and influencing others to take dance steps. As the chorus arrives, several teens form a group to choreograph the song led by Zendaya, ranging from colorful scenes and others in black and white. The scenes are reversed with Zendaya walking down the street with a dog and dancing alone. In a new scenario, located in the studio classroom ballet, the singer appears to join a group rehearsing the choreography and eventually goes out alone walking the halls of the college through the cabinets until she enters an elevator with friends. The last scene appears on top of a stage inside a small venue surrounded by the audience that attends singing and dancing along with two rappers, and applauded with cries of "Z", short for her name. Here, then, that Zendaya awakens in the classroom for her colleague, returning to the first scene and showing that it was all just a dream.[2]
