Background
The background often changes, as well as the backup coaches. The routine begins into an African savannah with the father from the music video sitting on an armchair in the background and some zebras; then, it changes to a road at night with cars and Indian buildings; the third background is an American canyon, which switches to a fiery background before the rap part; the fourth background is in front of a house with some graffiti reading NATION and HUMAN RELATIONS; the fifth background is a snowy scene of the Kremlin. The title of the song appears whenever it's sung.
At the end, it turns to a balcony at dawn, with several buildings from various countries (such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sphynx, the Big Ben, the Taj Mahal, the Coliseum, a Buddah statue and a Mayan temple) and the words Black and White appearing in various languages.
