Don’t Stop Me Now

"Don’t Stop Me Now" by is featured on, , , and.

Classic
The coach is a man with short hair combed to the right. He has two different designs: the first one is used in the intro and the outro, while every other part uses the second one.

C1
The coach starts out with indigo hair, cobalt blue skin covered in stars, a red rhombus on his right eye, a red an black checkered glitter suit with a high black collar and a narrow triangular hole that exposes a part of his chest, a cobalt blue blanket on each sleeve that lights up at times, a red belt with three cobalt blue triangles pointing to the right in the middle and a pair of black boots. His outline is blue and glowing.

C2
Shortly after the beginning, the camera zooms into the coach's right sleeve to reveal his transformation. He now has blue hair, a blue rhombus, a red and gold jacket with golden shoulder pads with fringes, large sleeve cuffs, a red collar with a blue outline, a sky blue tank top, black pants with purple glitter checker and lightning held by a pair of suspenders, a golden chain oh his left pocket and purple penny loafers. His outline is white and paper-like with a very sharp contour, as if it was cut out.

Panda Version
The coach is the panda from previous titles, including C’mon, Timber, Happy (as a background character), and I Gotta Feeling. In the beginning of the song, he is not wearing anything but a pink bandanna on his right wrist. He then gains a top hat with crown on it and unbuttoned vest, which change their color scheme according to the dancer that belongs to the backgrounds displayed, with his neutral outfit's color scheme being a purple vest and a blue hat. These clothing items appear with a burning transition that then exudes pink and aquamarine particles. At the end, they disintegrate in purple and sky blue particles. His outline is also white and paper-like, although it has a smoother contour, as if it was ripped.

Classic
The background begins with a black starry backdrop and piano keys, complete with a spotlight shining on the man. The scenery swoops in his sleeve, exposing the man's second design and a sunny day on a black and white checkered floor. Swooping forward, the scenery contains broccoli, flowers, ladders, pointing fingers shooting to the sky with rainbows, and a few butterfly hot air balloons. It then raises up to an opening stage curtain. The curtain opens up to a content-faced sun with seashells and starfish swooping inward. Afterwards, a piano spiral comes in, with a few decorated joyful live action animals floating in mid-air along with bananas and clocks. After this repeats, the background has the floating animals now bouncing on drums along with a giant crown shining in the background. Once this is over, a butterfly guitar shoots through the sky, leading back to the faced sun. The piano spiral comes in once more, and finally going back through the sleeve, to the area that the song starts at.

Alternate
The song starts with a statue of the Just Dance logo that is illuminated by two lights on the ground. The brightness of the light will flash and change according to the Panda's movement. When the chorus starts, the background changes, with background containing the logo and backgrounds from previous songs from previous games of, these are (not in order): Gangnam Style, Chiwawa, Teacher, All About That Bass, Fun, William Tell Overture, Hey Mama, Pound The Alarm, Starships, No Control, Birthday, The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?), Boys (Summertime Love), Drop the Mambo, Circus, Get Lucky, Dark Horse, Built For This, I'm An Albatraoz, This Is How We Do, and Born This Way. The song ends with the dancer back to the original place, with the statue becoming a collage of backgrounds. At the end of the song, the background dims.

All Gold Moves: Point forward while shaking your head.

General

 * Don’t Stop Me Now is the second song by Queen in the series.
 *  was used as the opening act for the Ubisoft E3 press conference to promote.
 * The conference included a dance number which featured dancers dressed as coaches from other games. The costumes used in the show are (besides Don’t Stop Me Now):
 * Circus (all players)
 * Copacabana (P2 and P4)
 * I Gotta Feeling
 * Oishii Oishii (P2)
 * The Final Countdown (mask from P1)
 * Time Warp (P4, with a disco ball head)
 * What About Love (T-shirt)
 * "Sex" is replaced with "race", but appears to be fully censored in the lyrics.
 * However, the word "sex" was not censored when it was used at the Ubisoft E3 press conference.

Classic

 *  is the first routine in the series to be removed and re-released on thrice in a row.
 * The first one was on October 20, 2016 to celebrate 's release, and it was removed after one week.
 * Then, it was released for the second time from December 28, 2016 to January 4, 2017, to celebrate the New Year.
 * Finally, it was definitively re-released on February 16, 2017.
 * In some screenshots, C2 has a light blue faded outline instead of a paper-like outline.
 * Besides, his outline is white-and-purple and thick on the menu instead of paper-looking.
 * The emblem from the song's cover art is used in the routine.
 * C2's tank top was taken from One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks).
 * The background reappears in Wherever I Go and Don’t Worry.
 * The costume required twelve days to be created, due to the huge variety of fabrics and weaves that compose it.
 * The fairy, the crab, the lion and the bird that appear during the chorus could be a reference to Queen's logo, which features the said characters in the classic routine and as well as on the logo.
 * The coach's silhouette and background were used to tease via social media.
 * In the E3 preview, C2's pictograms have the same color as C1's. In the final copy of the game, instead, they are red.
 * When Don't Stop Me Now was re-added to along with the first release of Run the Night, September, and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), it did not appear in the "Songs A-E" section, nor in the "Recently added" section and in the "Solos" playlist.
 * This issue was fixed after its third release.
 * The golden avatar does not have a light blue rhombus around its right eye, contrary to the coach himself.
 * Don't Stop Me Now is one of the routines selected for the digital qualifications of World Cup.

Panda Version

 *  (Panda Version) is the fourth routine to feature a panda, after C’mon, Timber, and I Gotta Feeling.
 * However, this is the first time the panda coach appears in an Alternate routine instead of a Classic one.
 * The coach's hat is a crown, which is a noticeable Easter Egg because it could be referred to Queen.
 * The coach was going to have a blue, glowy outline instead of a paper-like one. This Beta element is shown in the Beta menu icon.
 * When  (Panda Version) is unlocked on 7th-Gen consoles, the tagline is "Never say no to the Panda!", as a reference to the famous Egyptian commercials that aired in 2010.
