Throughout the video, interspersed shots showcase Guetta and Rexha separately at different locations, each delivering performances of the song. The culmination of these sequences leads to a moment as the artists come together before their joint performance at Ushuaïa. During the filming process, Rexha revealed that the team had to take a brief break due to motion sickness, adding, "But I knew that if I threw up, it would make it worse. [...] So I was like, I cannot throw up. I can't".{{cite magazine |last=Avila |first=Daniela |magazine=People |title=Bebe Rexha Details the Motions Sickness She Got Filming 'I'm Good (Blue)' Music Video on a Boat |url=https://people.com/music/bebe-rexha-details-motions-sickness-filming-im-good-blue-music-video-on-boat/ |access-date=4 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230304165819/https://people.com/music/bebe-rexha-details-motions-sickness-filming-im-good-blue-music-video-on-boat/ |archive-date=4 March 2023 |date=3 March 2023 |url-status=live}}
