The music video is set in both daytime and the night, seeing West wearing a mankerchief and medallion. It features West as the sole star, with him walking around the desert. West is accompanied by his silhouette, and there is a vivid blue sky and blazing sun in the background. A number of scenes are shot from above, showing the body of West moving in and out of view. Following on from the shots, a smoke machine and spotlights are turned on. A Lamborghini car is included in the video, appearing as B-roll footage. In another B-roll shot, a girl wearing a fly away burka is shown, which was compared to the clothing worn in the 1998 music video for American singer Madonna's single "Frozen". Steven Gottlieb of Video Static called the visual "surprisingly watchable" and commented that its "epic scope makes sure we can't take our eyes off ," while Nadine Cheung from "The Boombox" described West as looking "tough" as his silhouette "dances among a sprawling desert." "Entertainment Weekly"s Chris Schonberger opined that the music video "offers a rather insightful takeon Kanye's controversial persona" and said he "is removed from the vices that threaten his yearning for spirituality" when wandering the desert, as well as noting the clip's "epic quality" due to the scenes shot from above. The staff of "Stereogum" highlighted the video's "stuttering camera work."
