Music video
The video for Don't Judge Me was directed by Colin Tilley and Chris Brown in August 2012. Released on October 6, 2012. It shows Brown getting a truck to a military base to carry out a suicide mission. When he got there, his girlfriend came and asked him why he wanted to do this. He says he's doing it for the country, the planet and the people I love. If that's what he needs to do, do it. From there it is transported into space and destroyed there by a giant octopus. In between, scenes of him are often faded in next to a couch with a woman.
