Trivia

General

  • "F**k" is censored.
    • "Jeans", "hell", and "But I’mma like what's underneath them" are censored in Just Dance: Extra Songs. However, none of these words were censored in Just Dance 2, Just Dance: Summer Party, or in the remake.
    • This is the first time in the series which a full line is censored.
    • The lyrics do not display an ellipsis (...) for censored lyrics. When "hell" is censored, it is replaced with a gap.
  • The lyric "Ribena, I know what you're drinkin’" is misinterpreted as "Rappin’"/"I know what you’re drinkin'".
  • The line "I’ll show you to my brethren" is misinterpreted as "I'll show you to my bedroom".

Routine

  • During the production of the downloadable track, both of the pictograms were purple and the meters were different.
  • There is a glitch in the shop on Just Dance 2 involving this song: when choosing to download Firework, the short preview shows the routine for this song and not the correct one. This can happen in both of the NTSC and PAL shop.
  • In a picture of a beta-development routine, the pictograms from Chicken Payback are used.
  • In the trailer for Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs, the dancer for Pump Up The Volume is shown dancing in front of the background for this routine.
  • When the coaches do Gold Moves 2 and 3, P1’s hat and P2’s hair gets lighter. This is probably because of the gradient of the dancer’s clothes.
