"Mmm Yeah" is a dance-pop song which contains(the same words over and over again) a "swirling" production, funk-influenced trumpets, a percussion-heavy four on the floorelectropop beat, and influences of Chicago house, hip hop, and Latin music.[1][2][3][4][5] It is written in the key of F# minor. The track heavily samples lyrics from Lidell Townsell's 1992 single "Nu Nu", especially in the chorus. Lyrically, the song speaks of being rejected by an attractive woman walking down a street: "We can do whatever/ Do whatever we want/ When she walked past me I said 'hey, hey, hey' So tell me where you from where you want to go/ She walked past me like I ain't say a word".[2]
The official music video was released on March 13, 2014 featuring Pitbull. It was directed by Gil Green, who previously worked with Mahone for his "Banga! Banga!" music video. Throughout the video, Mahone and Pitbull are shown dancing with girls in a room with a moving floor with speakers and a couch, a concept reminiscent of the 1996 video for "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai.[7] This music video was certified in the digital platform Vevo on February 3, 2015 and it's Mahone's second Vevo Certified.
