The video begins with shots of the skyline of Hong Kong, where most of the setting takes place. An image of a stock market appears, zooming in on what appears to say, "@FifthHarmony women in power". The girls then appear in silhouettes and begin walking confidently as men stand next to a wall, appearing to stand in attention to the ladies. Individual shots of every girl are shown, giggling and smiling at the camera, before switching back to the stock market background. The group perform a choreographed dance move, and a Newton's cradle is shown being used, in rhythm to the song. The words "break through the glass ceiling" appear in stock market background, a reference to the obstacles that minorities, particularly minority women, have when climbing the corporate ladder. The members of Fifth Harmony dress in business-esque attire, demonstrating themes of feminism and self-worth. The verse changes to Kid Ink, who is dressed in almost all-black clothing, he doesn't move his body and is stationary, which is to show he is being forced into humiliation. He appears to be sitting in an office room with two attractive women approaching him as he sings. The women are dressed in business attire and are shown to have green eyes, in this case it is to show their possessiveness over him, tricking him into signing a fake cheque into fraud. A man is shown cleaning Dinah's shoe, as she controls him. She then kicks him to show she is not controlled by anyone. The scene shifts to Normani, who is sporting a fashionable business outfit with a white blazer. She then dramatically stands up from her chair, while a man, who appears to be her accountant, looks at her in a frightened motion. Just like the women sitting next to Kid Ink, he also appears to have green eyes, but in this case it is to show his jealousy of them, as shown in shakespeare. All members perform a dance move, when the setting shifts to Camila getting ready to play golf in her office. Ally is then shown with a man who also appears to be her accountant, similar to Normani. Lauren is seen in the back of a convertible black car with a man in the driver's seat. Each girl either flicks the man next to them or kicks them in frustration. The ladies are now in the stock market background, telling their lover that they're "Worth It". They also seem to rush their accountants, who are continuously typing on their calculators. The words "feminism is sexy" appear in the stock market background, before switching to Kid Ink, where the women move in-sync to the rhythm as he raps. The camera zooms into the eyes of a woman, with her eyes appearing bright green. The group perform more choreographed dance moves individually and as a group. Shots of all the members winking their eye, smiling, and showing confidence are shown. The video ends with the group facing away from the camera and looking at the stock market behind them, then turn around and move their hands upward, a similar ending to the group's past videos.
This empowering slice of party-ready R&B was penned by Priscilla Renea (Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up." Pitbull's "Timber") It was produced by the Norwegian hit-making team of Stargate with jazz saxophonist and music producer Ori Kaplan. Lyrically, this finds Fifth Harmony calling the shots with some guy they are interested in, assuring him that they are "worth it." Dinah Jane Hansen croons the first verse, Camila Cabello the second whilst Normani Kordei handles the first pre-chorus section and Ally Brooke Hernandez the second and third. LA rapper Kid Ink makes a guest appearance, rapping on the bridge about how his girl is acting shy and encouraging her to "bring it back like you left something." Originally, the song was slated as a Kid Ink solo effort; when it went to Fifth Harmony, it was tweaked to make it from a female perspective. The video incorporates the song's message of feminism and girl power as all five of the Fifth Harmony girls take control from a man in different circumstances. "The gender roles were kind of swapped within the music video," Normani told MTV News. "That's a point that we really wanted to make sure that stood out." Three of the Fifth Harmony members, Camila Cabello, Lauren Jauregui, and Ally Brooke Hernandez, are Latinas, so it was a logical move for them to record an Español version of this song. The quintet dropped "Dame Esta Noche," the same week that they performed the tune on Spanish-language awards show Premios Juventud. Before making the video, the girls asked fans to tweet in about feminism and female empowerment. Bits from some of the tweets they received were used in the backdrop in the scenes where words and symbols are scrolling across a screen. Stargate's Tor Erik Hermansen told Entertainment Weekly how the production duo came to work with the girl group. "Fifth Harmony's record company came to us and asked us to work with them. We saw something in the group that hadn't necessarily been brought out yet, which was the fact that these girls were into hip-hop and more urban records. The songs they put out didn't reflect their personalities, so that really sparked our vision for writing for them. This particular song started with a saxophone riff from a guy named Ori Kaplan from the group Balkan Beat Box, which plays Eastern European music in a very original way. We built a beat around this saxophone riff, and once we had that, we said, 'Okay, do we have any a cappellas that could fit it?' It was almost like what you would do if you were a DJ trying to make a mashup. The melody and lyrics were from an old song we had, and it just worked over the beat right away. Priscilla Renea didn't even remember the original track. We had to tell her, 'Remember this song that you wrote a year or two ago?'"
