Trivia

 * After the third verse, the dancer does a classic split.
 * This is the fourth dance to involve a split. The first was Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim Remix) from Just Dance 2, the second was Maniac from Just Dance 2 and the third was Flashdance ... What a Feeling from Just Dance 2014. It is followed by the Aerobics version of This Is How We Do.
 * The background of this song has many Internet phenomena. Example:
 * Space Wolves (in the introduction and the rest of the song, the wolves appear when the choir is singing).
 * The keyboard cat.
 * Space Cats throwing lasers.
 * Zebras create rainbows with their tails. (It looks like the pony from asdf movie 5 and 6)
 * Explosions in "poor quality".
 * When he kicks forward and breaks the watermelon, he references Fruit Ninja.
 * It has a "boss" like in an adventure game.
 * This is the third song that was used in the film Shrek 2. The first one was Funkytown from Just Dance 2 Best Buy version, and the second is Livin' la Vida Loca from Just Dance 4.
 * This is also the third song, after Idealistic and Satisfaction, to have made appearances in Saint's Row: The Third (it was notably used in the final mission).
 * This and You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) are the only two songs have featured trophies for the PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360/One editions of Just Dance 2015. This one can be gained by getting 5 stars.
 * In the Party Master Mode, Don't You Worry Child is wrongfully transparent, as the background can be seen through his body.
 * Unlike other Duet Mashups within Just Dance 2015, the gender sides will change. For example, C'mon, which is female-male, transitions to Moskau, which is male-female.
 * On the website justdanceworld.com, it was said that Aurélie Sériné would dance to Holding Out for a Hero while she was a VIP on the World Dance Floor.
 * However, this never happened.
 * This is one of the songs selected for the Just Dance 2015 World Cup.undefined
 * There is a glitch at the Mashup for Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS4: when you come up and pick the dancer, it actually goes with no players.
 * When the sword disappears, it kind of glitches out instead of having a smooth transition.
 * The dancer appeared in the beta icons of some cups in Dance Quest.undefined
 * At the end of the Community Remix for this song, a thank you message from the Just Dance team will pop up saying: "You are our Heroes. Thank you, see you on Just Dance 2016!"
 * Plus, two girls from Japan cosplaying Die Young appear in it.
 * Additionally, during the split part, the screen divides into four parts: the fourth one shows the original coach and is placed at the bottom right, and all the others show various players who try to perform the split. Those players are credited as Just Dancers and their attributed avatar is the one from this song.
 * The space wolves in the background are recycled in the Showtime of When The Rain Begins To Fall.
