During the chorus, a disco ball comes down and glowing jellyfish appear in the back. Behind the glass of the fish tank is a low-lit living room, which was recycled from Blame It On The Boogie.

Earphone Version
The background is a beach shore with a bluey-green colored van, a red surfing board, a lifeguard seat and palm trees.

Trivia

 * The radio edit for this song (which replaces f**king crazy with crazy-crazy, god damn with hot damn, and f**king delicious with so delicious) is used in game.
 * Damn is additionally censored.

 * However, this is his first song in the main series. This song is also his first in the games with DNCE.
 * This is the first song in the game to have a VIPMADE routine. It is followed by Oishii Oishii (which features Favij) and Hips Don’t Lie (whcih features Sophie Milzink).
 * This song was planned to be officially revealed at Gamescom, but it was prematurely revealed two weeks earlier.
 * In early drafts for the game, the background behind the fish tank was a diner with tables of ketchup and mustard instead of a living room. The octopus was whiter and the second seahorse has green arms instead of fuchsia arms.
 * The living room shown in the Classic routine behind the fish tank is recycled from Blame It on the Boogie.
 * The earphone routine may be a nod to the Hold-My-Hand routines in and, but this also might not be the case.
 * In the VIPMADE routine, the pictograms slide on a duet bar and, because of this, they are more stretched horizontally.

 * P1 has a slightly different haircut and wears a black and white Yankees jacket over a white T-shirt.
 * P2 has long red hair and wears a white dress.
 * The menu icon for the Earphones version was initially different: the wire for the earphones had the same outline as the coaches'. In the final version, it has no outline.
 * The Classic routine is the Just Dance 2017 routine with the shortest pictograms sprite (28 pictograms).
 * In an interview, the official costume designer for Ubisoft studios said that the costume for the Classic coach was the funniest to create, because she loves the idea of the "sea astronaut".
