Riley Green’s latest single, “Worst Way” is a very sexy song on its own, but Riley practically broke the internet last week when he released the video for “Worst Way.”

The steamy video features Riley and his beautiful co-star acting out exactly what he sings about in the song. For instance, he shows up at her house for dinner, and they get right down to business, basically moving like a tornado through the house, breaking everything in their passionate path. Or there’s a scene where they go out to dinner and end up getting undressed and climbing on top of the table in the middle of the restaurant in front of all the other diners.

So, what did Riley think when he first read the director’s treatment for the video, and realized just how hot and sexy it was going to be?

Riley told us in a recent interview, "Obviously, we know what the song is. I mean, it’s a very forward song, and if you’re gonna make a video you gotta kinda commit. So, the first treatment that I got sent, it was very sexy, very steamy, but I thought it needed a little comedic relief in the video. So, I don’t know if you remember a movie called 'Bull Durham,' Kevin Costner, it was one of my favorite movies growing up."

He added, "And there was a scene where he and Susan Sarandon are sittin’ in the kitchen, he’s wearin’ her bathrobe and I think they’re smoking a joint, eating a bowl of cereal, and he throws a cereal. Like, that kinda thing. I wanna be that guy in the video. The comedy in it’s what I thought kinda kept it bearable for me because that’s a pretty awkward thing to go shoot a lovey-dovey music video, but the little funny scenes in it to me is what made it."
