The first bit of the video sort of feels like a tease of what he wants to do, what he looks up to in pop, the type of iconic character he wishes to be for today's world. But it sort of rears back to reality and what he's trying to do right now, which is transitioning from child star to adult pop singer. He knows there's only one man that's made that transition successfully this millennium because that man is one of the two people that tried to sign him in the beginning.

Lol, no.
The teaser part was initially supposed to be the video. It was shot by by Tilley, but after they had finished shooting it probably got bad feedback because of the lack of plot/fact that the dark and "sexy" theme was tryhard and doesn't really match up with anything but the verses etc. So they pushed the release date back and re-shot the video. But obviously they had already released the teasers with the original visuals so they still had to chuck it in somewhere.
And yes, Usher was a child star.
