When I Grow Up

"When I Grow Up" by is featured on.

C1
The song starts with a grown-up celebrity. She's wearing an aqua and purple dress. Her hair and sunglasses are dark teal. She is also wearing a purple sun hat, one purple glove (the other is hot pink), and light blue high-heels.

C2
Every time "When I grow up" is sung the lady "turns" into a teenager. She is wearing the same accessories as her adult-form but instead of a dress and high-heels, she is wearing an orange t-shirt with a purple rainbow and white cloud, orange shorts, and white flats with purple socks. A feather boa has been added, and her hair and glasses are orange like her clothes.

In the remake, C1's lipstick is much more visible, and a realistic effect is added on the clothes.

Original
During the adult's scenes, she is standing on a reflective floor in front of The Red Carpet and around her are paparazzi, palm trees, railings, and glowing lights from a city. During the teen's scenes, she is in her orange-colored room, having a window with curtains, a bed, an armchair/sofa with lots of soft toys, a bed with a dolphin on it, and a clothes-hanger. Also, a Raving Rabbid appears on the couch as one of the stuffed animals.

Remake
In the remake, the flashes from the paparazzi's cameras are dimmer and the red carpet is stretched so that the dancer is standing on it instead of in front of it. The transition between the two backgrounds happens in a different way, and the second one looks lighter.

Alternate Routines/Contest Winners
There was a contest held which let fans choreograph their own dances to "When I Grow Up". Three winners of the contest got their dances recorded (the winners were dancing themselves) and added into the game as Alternate routines.

Contest Winner 2
The second winner was  Mandy Davis from the United Kingdom. She is wearing a hot pink dress, a light blue jacket with short sleeves, and very dark purple belt.

Since her hair is blonde, the special effects make her hair white in-game. The same thing happened to her shoes which, apparently, are a very light pink.

The third winner was Liana Veda from the United States. She has purple hair and is wearing a purple hat, a hot pink tank top and warmers, a dark purple short skirt, orange leggings, and dark shoes.
