Macy Gray stars in the music video for her new song "Sugar Daddy". The track will be in Gray's forthcoming album, Ruby.

Meghan Trainor is a co-writer for "Sugar Daddy." The four-minute clip features Gray's signature tone. It opens with a woman sitting on a cage while in a lounge. Gray works at the bar, and she struggles to win over the club's patrons.

However, the minute Gray starts singing "Sugar Daddy," the lounge's clienteles start noticing her. A man offers Gray some cash, and she contemplates for a few seconds before accepting it. The minute she does, Gray smiles from ear to ear. She appears to be more confident.

More lounge patrons give her money for her performance, and Gray interacts with them. However, the music video for "Sugar Daddy" wrapped up with Gray once again standing at the bar with a somber look on her face.

Trainor is not featured in the clip because she simply lent her writing chops to Grey. Ruby, which serves as the singer's 10th album, will be out on Sept. 27.

Following the release of "Sugar Daddy," Gray spoke with Rolling Stone about the track. She said that she loved making her single, and she is confident it will become a summer anthem.
