Trivia

 * "F**k" is censored.
 * Jeans, Hell and the whole line But I'mma like what's underneath them are censored in Extra Songs; however, the latter is not censored in Just Dance 2 nor in Just Dance: Summer Party and in the remake.
 * This is the first time in Just Dance that a full line is censored, followed by Party Rock Anthem, The Way, Bang Bang, Despacito and Make It Jingle.
 * During the production of the DLC, both of the pictograms were purple and the meters were different.
 * P1's shirt is hard to see because it is white and his skin is also white.
 * The lyric "Rappin'" is wrong — it should be " I know what you're drinkin'" not "Rappin". Possibly, Ubisoft replaced the word because they might receive copyright infringement for using it.
 * The line "I'll show you to my brethren" is misinterpreted as "I'll show you to my bedroom".
 * There is a glitch in the shop on Just Dance 2 involving this song. When choosing to download Firework, the short preview shows the dance from this song and not the classic dancer for the former. This can happen in the both of the NTSC and PAL shop and in a few videos on YouTube, further proving this glitch.
 * In a beta picture, the pictograms are from Chicken Payback.
 * On the menu icon, P2 is on the left and P1 is on the right, despite this not being the case in the routine.
 * In the trailer for Just Dance Summer Party/Extra Songs, the dancer for Pump Up The Volume is shown dancing in front of the background for American Boy.
