Background[]
The routine takes place at Scarlet’s Palace. During the song's introduction, the words "SCARLET'S PALACE" and "ABOUT DAMN TIME" are shown on a curved white and gold marquee. Below this is a red-carpeted stage with gold and velvet stanchions standing between the coaches and the viewer. The left side of the stage displays Ann G. Lina's aesthetic, whilst the right shows Luke Cypher's. On the roof of the stage are cyan and violet string lights that taper off the further they get from the center. Other lights are also shown on the posters, lighting up red and blue in sync with the music. Posters of the coaches, along with Rita Piña and Fuchsia Blue, are displayed in the back of the stage, each reading their name and "SCARLET'S PALACE - Dancity". Between posters and pillars is a darkened hall, with only purple lights visible. Ann G. Lina and Luke Cypher enter this hall once the pre-chorus starts.
The hall has tiled floors, some of them lighting up green, blue, and red, and several potted plants. Purple LED lights are also visible on the roof. Once the first "Oh" is sung, the glass windows in the room room completely light up, keeping the same theme as the stage. The windows on the left display what appears to be clouds, and the right side shows fire, some of which entering the hall. The roof also has these windows, with purple in the center. Statues of Cupid with purple accents are also shown.
Once the chorus starts, the pair go into a Heaven and Hell-themed dance floor. The left side of the room has blue glowing tiles, statues of Cupid, pillars, and both purple and star-shaped balloons. The right side of the room shows multiple demons depicted as Cupid, red tiles, pillars, and a disco ball. In the center of the dance floor is a window, again putting the clouds and fire on display.
During the break, Ann G. Lina and Luke Cypher go back to the darkened hallway. Its appearance has been kept almost entirely the same, except the window are flashing in sync to the music. Once the music stops, all of the lights go out and the camera zooms out into the hall.
