You see, Kanye and Kim are in love. The song had kind of a lot of R&B music in it. West performed the song live on Later... with Jools Holland and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. However, Kanye's Bound 2 video is different.
The video features his then-fiancée now wife Kim Kardashian, topless, riding atop West's motorbike (Honda CRF-X) through Monument Valley and other landscapes.
