Her outfit is androgynous, being based to be half masculine and half feminine.

P1/P3
The backup dancers both wear black diamond encrusted masks and black suits with matching shoes. P1’s suit has red accents, and P3’s suit has white accents.

Nerd Version
The dancer is a nerdy boy with brown bobbed hair and orange glasses. He is wearing yellow and orange striped sweater, brown high-waisted pants with a brown belt, orange socks, and brown shoes. In the chorus, his sweater turns turquoise and his pants turn purple.

Classic
The background takes place in a circular warehouse. The walls have black curved bars, around are some light up squares and shining lights. The floors have a white circular lace design. The background is shown to start off as royal blue, and transitions to red. Numerous clones of the backup dancers are shown during the routine. At the chorus, the ceiling curves down with the wall and flashes white on the bars. The middle circle is a fiery orange and the walls rotate accordingly. The background turns black and flashes the dancers in the three circles. During the bridge, the dancers will appear one at a time on the panel behind them.

Nerd Version
The alternate background takes place in a large library. During the first and second verses, the bookshelves and wooden floors are brown, the floors having a blue and white tile line. There are large arch windows shining daylight. The books on the bookshelf flash different colors throughout the routine. During the choruses, and for the rest of the routine after the second chorus, the library darkens, with multiple colored panels and the windows shining pink.
