In the video, after a few moments of restrained dancing around a living room, Cox shakes her head and unzips her sweater to reveal the same shirt she wore in Springsteen's original music video. She then starts dancing again, mimicking her moves from the music video.

The TikTok then cuts to a few scenes from the actual Springsteen music video, in which Cox and Springsteen can be seen onstage dancing together.
