Jason Derulo takes viewers behind the scenes of his video for “Don’t Wanna Go Home,” the lead single from his sophomore album Future History, due later this summer. The smooth operator shows off his fancy footwork inside an industrial warehouse, reclining on a couch with scantily-clad women as liquor bottles litter the floor.

“The inspiration behind ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’ was simply all the pain, all the turmoil going on around the world, I wanted to write a song that was a pick-me-up,” Jason told MTV’s “The Seven.” “I wanted to make a song that would allow people to escape whatever they were going through.”

Check out all the action from the spooky set below.

Rihanna returned to her island roots, traveling to Jamaica to shoot a video for “Man Down,” a fan favorite off her Loud album. In one of the first two camera phone pics from the set, the Barbados beauty rides a bike while filming in Portland, a parish located on the island’s northeast coast.

“WELCOME TA JAMROCK!!! #projectmandown,” tweeted RiRi, who reunited with director Anthony Mandler for the visuals.

50 Cent got hands on with Nicole Scherzinger on set of the video for “Right There,” the lead single from her U.S. debut Killer Love. Directed by Paul Hunter, the clip sees the labelmates getting down to the upbeat tune in the “concrete urban paradise” of downtown Los Angeles, with the former Pussycat Doll sharing her love for her co-star in between takes.

“50 has been a friend of mine. He did his thing on the song. I thought I was cool until 50 showed up and he was a little cooler,” laughed Nicole. “He brought the energy and the spirit. He’s 50 for a reason. He’s the real deal. So just being around him ups the game and it was a lot of fun.”

With a new album, Light Of The Sun, on the way, Jilly from Philly took it back to her roots and teamed with fellow Philly native Eve for the new single "Shame."

CNN recently caught up with Jill Scott on the set for her new single "Shame" with fellow Philly native Eve. The single represents a return to Jill's hip hop roots while the video itself represents something a bit more personal.

Shot at the Cecil B. Moore Recreation Center on the city's north side, this is the place where Jill spent her summers as a child and where she began to write poetry. What's special about the shoot is that Jill decided to do the video there after learning the center was on the city's list to be demolished. So Jill and her Blues Babe Foundation swooped in to save the day. Jill paid for a new roof, gym floor and basketball court.

British rapper Chipmunk jetted to Los Angeles to film the video for “In the Air,” his collaboration with Keri Hilson off his sophomore album Transition, due April 18 in the U.K. Miss Keri, rocking long blonde locks, hops behind the wheel of a car while performing under a bridge with her English co-star in the Colin Tilley-directed clip.

Taking a break from filming in the early morning hours, the sexy singer spoke on how the international collaboration came about. “When I first heard the record, it was special and I wish that we were in the studio together,” she says. “If you think the chemistry was amazing based upon what you hear, it would have even been better. So I say that to say when we are finally on stage performing this record together, the chemistry will be there. I promise you.”

It is a party record, but at the same time, it’s lettin’ people know we worked for this shit,” explained Sean. “We reflecting back on life. You’re gonna see a lot of scenes from how I was grinding to get here and that’s what a lot of people leave out. Then you’re gonna see how it is now, how we’re living now.”
