- Some songs from this game were found in the files of Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited. They were finally released on March 23, 2018, and July 4, 2018.
- The graphics are similar to the Wii version of Michael Jackson: The Experience, and the only differences are the font and the look of the menu.
- In the .json files for the routines that reappear in Just Dance Unlimited and Now, the original game is displayed as "4884", because those digits resemble the letters of the name "ABBA".[1]
- "4884" is also displayed on the golden label that appears on the menu icons of Just Dance Unlimited via Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2017.
- This is the only game in the Just Dance franchise developed by Ubisoft Bucharest which has a Romanian language option.
