C4 is a woman. She wears a yellow sunhat, a maroon furry vest, a gold bra top, blue high-waisted flare jeans, and black stiletto heels.

Tuxedo Version
All three dancers are men. The three of them have short black hair and wear black tuxedos with bright blue bow ties, white polo shirts, grey vests and grey shoes. They are distinguised by slightly different hairstyles, glove colors and certain accents, like a rose.

Classic
The background takes place in a large city, most likely New York City. The city contains colorful reproductions of the Manhattan bridge, various buildings and signs with the lyrics on them, which, according to Alkis Argyriadis and Véronique Halbrey, gives the feeling of a city that is always transforming itself. Numerous dancers, some of which are from previous games, appear along with the main dancers.

Tuxedo Version
The background starts off with dancers surrounded with cardboard cutouts of city landscapes, which mostly sway and move. As the song starts, a cardboard cutout of a shelf containing glasses, plates, and bottles is placed on the left side and another cardboard cutout of a single couch is placed on the right. The dancers are individually flashed by a spotlight while the shelf and the single couch disappears and the landscapes goes black but the windows are lit on the refrain. They return in the chorus, but the landscapes are illuminated with colors of teal and red. Shortly after, the landscapes go black and windows are lit again while the dancers are individually flashed by a spotlight again. An oblong cardboard cutout appears and obscures the other cardboard cutouts in the background, as well as the bridge. The oblong appears again at the end.
