Visuals: A small yellow loudspeaker comes and jumps around a dark surface. Then a medium-size red speaker appears, knocking the yellow one off the screen, and "dances" on the surface. A large blue loudspeaker rises from the surface's border and in turn blows the red one off the screen. The 3D word "ZOMBA" falls down, with "FILMS" below. The blue speaker moves behind and sends out some light rays.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A catchy dance-pop tune, inspired by Max Martin's production style (which Zomba acts like Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC had).
