"Dark Horse" by is featured on  and.

Appearance of the Dancers
The dance style is a cross between futuristic and Egyptian. The routine contains a trio of a leading woman, and the backup dancers are women and men, switching around.

P2
She is supposed to represent Katy as Katy-patra in the official music video for the song. She has blue hair with red highlights, an egyptian crown colored in the shades of the outfit, a red like bra shaped top, a blue long skirt with no fabric on front and a big red design, tied with gold chains like a belt. As footwear, she has gold bejeweled sandals with heels on. During the chorus, she is in a golden bodysuit bejeweled with decorations. During the bridge she has the same outfit as in the verses but this time with a neon colour scheme.

P1/P3
The backup dancers begin as female cat dancers similar to the music video. Their skin is reddish brown and they wear light blue tops and skirts with dark blue and gold highlights. Their hair is dark blue cut in a bob style having an ombre effect changing to light blue.

During the chorus, the cat dancers turn into the male servants (but with blue skin) similar to the music video and are wearing necklaces and purple shorts and shoes. They appear as shirtless. During the bridge, they have neon colour schemes with neon red and purple pants and black skin with red light shadings.

Background
The background seems to have come from the music video. There's a red carpet within a sand fortress and it takes place within a desert. During the chorus, pyramids appear with a color blue in the top and bottom of a pyramid in a dark sky in the background.

Classic
There are 3 Gold Moves in the Classic routine, all of which are the same:

All Gold Moves: Cross your arms over your chest and then shake your head during the line. The third gold move is the final move for the routine.

Mashup
There are 3 Gold Moves in the Mashup:

Gold Moves 1 and 2: Bend over and put both your hands behind you while semi-crouching. (She Wolf (Falling to Pieces))

Gold Move 3: Cross your arms over your chest and then shake your head. (Dark Horse)

Mashup
Dark Horse has a Mashup with the theme Mystic Princesses, meaning that it features female dancers with a certain type of special power or a type of domination. It can be unlocked for 20 Mojocoins.

Trivia

 * Dark Horse was accidentally leaked on UbiBlog and Uplay.
 * It was taken off of both pages immediately.
 * This song was one of the first five leaked songs to be on, along with Summer, Happy, Burn, Built For This and Dancing Queen, although Dancing Queen did not appear in the final game.
 * Dark Horse is the eleventh song by Katy Perry in the Just Dance series.
 * Dark Horse is the first of three classic routines for a song by Katy Perry to not be a solo routine, it is followed by This Is How We Do and Swish Swish.
 * I Kissed a Girl also has a non-solo routine, but it's an On-Stage Mode routine.
 * This is also her second routine to have a male dancer, preceded by I Kissed a Girl' s On-Stage Mode and followed by Swish Swish.
 * This is the second trio in the series where the lead and backup dancers are recorded separately. The first is The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?), the third is Hey Mama, the fourth is Born This Way, the fifth is Daddy and the sixth is PoPiPo.
 * Juicy J's part was taken out from the version of the song used in the game.
 * However, he can be heard saying "Love tripping" before the bridge.
 * This also happens with Hoodie Allen's part from Gibberish, Kanye West's part from E.T., Nelly's part from 4x4, T.I.'s part from Blurred Lines, Snoop Dogg's part from Stuck On A Feeling, Dizzee Rascal's part from Wild and Kendrick Lamar's part from Don't Wanna Know and The Greatest
 * In the picture of the full song list, Dark Horse was not listed.
 * The gameplay takes many elements from the music video.
 * The background resembles the one in the music video a lot.
 * The dancer is wearing an outfit similar to Katy Perry in the music video.
 * The beginning is just like the second verse of the music video.
 * The painting at the beginning and at the end of the routine is inspired on the one from the teaser of the official music video.
 * The choreography uses a move from the music video.
 * The song's avatar is one of the few to have eyebrows.
 * There is a total of eleven dancers in the Classic mode. However, only three are playable.
 * In the song selection menu, four backup dancers can be seen instead of the two playable ones. This is the first time non-playable clone backups are seen in the background of the song selection menu for a song with backups. It is followed by Hey Mama.
 * In the gameplay, the line We're down to earth is misinterpreted as But down to earth.
 * The Mashup is one of the four routines in which All I Want for Christmas Is You makes an appearance, with the others being Holding Out for a Hero’s, Summer’s and All About That Bass’s Party Master Modes.
 * On the World Dance Floor, whenever this song is chosen for play without voting, the backup dancers are not selectable. Instead, the player will choose between two topics (like solo routines that were chosen without voting or VIP), and the player will be advised to follow P2.
 * In the Mashup, the coaches seem to have been enlarged.
 * This is one of the songs selected for the Just Dance 2015 World Cup.undefined
 * In the Mashup, the unfinished pictogram for Iko Iko appears. This same pictogram also appears in The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)’s mashup.
 * Similar to the VIP of It's My Birthday and the Community Remix of The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?), the Community Remix does not include pictograms. This is because it only counts scoring for the lead dancer.
 * In the  files for Dark Horse, there are four beta pictograms that use the default pictogram colors (green, red, and magenta).
 * As of September 2016, Dark Horse is the only song by Katy Perry that is not available in Just Dance Unlimited or under the "Katy Perry" Playlist on Just Dance Now.
 * In the Mashup of Fatima, the pictograms for P2 are pointed to a more orange colour.
 * Dark Horse was supposed to be featured on, as seen in a screenshot.
 * There is some moves found in JDU files called "darkhorse_come_on_sexy.msm", "darkhorse_cross_badass.msm" and "darkhorse_cross_badass_back.msm"
