The music video for "Window Seat" features Badu walking the streets around Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, slowly stripping to the nude, before being shot by an unseen assassin.

Badu's public nudity, guerrilla filming, and the video's allusions to the assassination of John F. Kennedy were met with controversy among fans and critics.

"Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)", featuring Lil Wayne and Bilal, was released as an internet-only promotional single on Badu's official website in January 2010.

[11] BBC Online writer Stevie Chick praised Badu's performance on the song, writing that she sings "with such earnest, desperate yearning you’ll be struck dumb".

[12] The Washington Post's Chris Richards described the song as "vintage Badu: gentle melodies, a twinkling harp, rim-shots click-clacking at an easy, Sunday morning tempo".

[13] Los Angeles Times writer Margaret Wappler praised co-producer and keyboardist James Poyser's contribution, writing that he "elevates" the song "into a juicy slice of escapism but with the security of someone missing you back home".

On March 13, 2010, Badu filmed an impromptu music video for "Window Seat" in the Dealey Plaza historic district of Dallas, Texas.

[17] On her Twitter feed, she stated that the music video "was shot guerrilla style, no crew, 1 take, no closed set, no warning, 2 min., Downtown Dallas, then ran like hell".

[18] Badu was inspired by indie rock duo Matt & Kim's video for the song "Lessons Learned", in which the musicians strip naked in Times Square,[19] viewing it as "the bravest, most liberating thing I’ve ever seen two people do...

[16] After she collapses to the ground in the video, blue blood spills out to form the word "groupthink",[19] after which Badu's voiceover says: They play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they do not understand.

[30] Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway expressed concern for stricter laws to prevent similar incidents, stating "None of this would have occurred had she stayed clothed.

"[30] On April 2, 2010, Badu was charged with disorderly conduct for her public nudity, a class C misdemeanor in Texas indicating a $500 fine (with no jail time), when a witness came forward.

[16] In an April 3, 2010 interview on The Wanda Sykes Show, she explained in response to critics of the video that she did not intend to disrespect the memory of John F. Kennedy with its allusion to his assassination, stating "My point was grossly misunderstood all over America.
