The classic design and character of the suites made QT Sydney a no-brainer for the shoot location. The hotel transported us to an elegant, timeless and unique world that provided the perfect aesthetic for Mýa’s performance.

The music video for Coolin' was shot January 8–9, 2017 in Sydney, Australia at the QT Hotel.[1] A two day shoot, it was filmed after the completion of the singer's Australian leg of her Smoove Jones Show Tour (2016).[1] While on tour in Australia, Harrison began a search for a music director. Subsequently, she was introduced to Matt Sharp, a local Australian director. Satisfied with Sharp's work, Harrison hired and appointed him in charge of shooting the music video.[1][2] For the shoot, the singer enlisted an entire Australian team and was styled by Aussie designers such as Alice McCall, Kaliver, Baby Likes To Pony, Dejna Kantarevic, Jacinta James; topped off with Tessarella House Jewellery.[3]
The video begins with an opening monologue by Harrison reflecting on a past love. Produced in black and white, the music video shows the singer in lingerie in one of QT Sydney's beautiful, luxe state suite, immersed in reflection about a past love and their time together.[1][4]
Like always and in honor of her nineteenth anniversary, the singer decided to gift her fans with a special treat. To commemorate this year anniversary, Mýa released a new music video for fan favorite Coolin' off the Smoove Jones project. Prior to the video's release, the singer uploaded a teaser clip on her Instagram account.[5] The video for Coolin' officially premiered on the Vibe.com website on February 14, 2017.[2] It premiered on InStyle website as well.[6] Additionally, the music video was made available for purchase via iTunes.[7]
