 The video does not have a substantial plot and , per Furtado 's request , focuses on simultaneously celebrating and parodying the " maneater cliché " . It begins with Furtado searching for her runaway Great Dane , Toby , at night in a seemingly deserted industrial district of an unnamed city . She follows the dog to the basement of a dark , dilapidated building , where she encounters a silent crowd of people in the middle of what MTV News described as a " Fight Club @-@ esque party " . Furtado positions herself in the middle of the crowd and , as the initial beat of the song emerges , begins to dance with " a sense of abandon " , according to Furtado . This serves as the catalyst for a dance party that continues as the song plays . Towards the end of the video , Furtado moves to the roof of the building and dances in front of the rising sun . In the end she leaves the party at dawn , finding her dog sitting at the stairhead near the exit . " I like to walk on the dangerous side of life " , Furtado said of the filming of the video .
