The music video for "She Ain't You" was filmed on April 10, 2011, and was directed by Colin Tilley,[11] and premiered on May 2, 2011.[12] Throughout the video, Brown pays tribute to Michael Jackson, and as stated by Lewis Corner of Digital Spy, "Brown has also choreographed a selection of iconic Jackson-inspired moves for the song's dance routine."[13] The video opens with the following dedication, "Dedicated to my biggest inspiration of all time ... I Love You. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. 08/29/58 – 06/25/09."[13] Brown then appears in a 1980s-styled white suit and a black fedora,[13] performing choreography with male and female dancers against a wall of neon lights.[11] Brown's outfit was noted for its similarities to the one Jackson wore in his music video for "Smooth Criminal" (1988).[13][12] In between these scenes, Brown can also be seen wearing a black suit while dancing in front of a backdrop of dark clouds. Sevyn Streeter and Brown appear separately during the song's chorus where they are surrounded by gold butterflies. More scenes of Brown performing choreography are shown during the second verse. He also appears outdoors splashing in a pool of water.[11] The video ends showing Brown flying through the air. A writer for Rap-Up wrote that the video showcased what Brown does best – "dance".[11] Anthony Osei of Complex magazine wrote, "If anyone can do a great Michael Jackson tribute, it's Chris Brown."[14] A writer of DesiHits wrote that the video brought the "same magic" from his tribute to Jackson at the 2010 BET Awards, and added that it included "great lighting and even better choreography."[15] Robbie Daw of Idolator found the video "mildly enjoyable".[16] Brad Wete of Entertainment Weekly called Brown's dancing "tremendous" and wrote, "You'd be hard pressed trying to find a singer out there with enough dancing abilities to even attempt a proper Jackson tribute. Brown is one of the few—if not the only."[17] At the 2011 Soul Train Music Awards, the video was nominated for Best Dance Performance
