The accompanying music video for "You're Makin' Me High", directed by Bille Woodruff, features Braxton and a group of friends (consisting of actresses Erika Alexander, Vivica A. Fox, and Tisha Campbell-Martin) enjoying themselves in luxurious surroundings. An elevator brings up a series of men, some very attractive and others amusingly unattractive. Braxton and her friends "judge" the men using oversized playing cards as score cards. Periodically, one of the women chooses a man to leave with. Braxton chooses Bryce Wilson, whom she dated at the time, and they are shown together in a bathtub of cotton candy and on a dance floor, with Braxton also shown wearing a white bodysuit. The music video premiered on MTV, BET, and VH1 on the week ending May 5, 1996.[6

After the critical and commercial success of her Grammy Award-winning debut album, Braxton knew the stakes were high for a successful follow-up. Babyface encouraged the singer to push the envelope with a provocative track that has her dreaming of going to bed with her absent lover. "It was sexy because Toni needed to do something a little more daring," Babyface said. "She was fighting it a bit. She didn't know whether she should say those kinds of things. She didn't want to offend anybody. It was chancy, but it ended up working out." The Bille Woodruff-directed music video casts Braxton and actresses Tisha Campbell-Martin, Vivica A. Fox and Erika Alexander as a group of friends looking for men to go home with. Braxton chooses the song's co-writer Bryce Wilson, and they end u
