"Bad Guy" (Billie Version) (stylized as "bad guy" (Billie Version) in-game) is playable on the 8th-gen, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia versions of Just Dance 2020, where an internet connection is required to play the routine. The routine also appears on Just Dance Unlimited, Just Dance Now (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024), Just Dance+, and 舞力全开. It was originally a track on 舞力无限, but was retagged as a main song of the game.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The coach is Billie, who is styled after Billie Eilish. She has lime green hair with very dark green tips, with a light green beanie on her head. She wears an emerald green puffed up jacket with a light green shirt and shorts, which has Billie Eilish’s logo printed on it as well as some cubic shapes. She also wears a pair of light green socks and light green shoes. Her accessories includes silver chain necklaces. "Billie" is written on the center of her shirt and on the right bottom area of her shorts. She has a thin violet outline, which is surrounded by a thick white outline.
Background[]
The background features lots of stick-figure men similar to the ones from Billie Eilish’s clothing brand blohsh, which bops their head and shrugs to the music. The background color changes periodically throughout the song as well as some additional effects appearing in the changing background. During the intro, it is yellow and the figures were in 3D. During the verses, it features larger versions of them with a light cream skin that features the previous background but with pulsing squares. At the pre-chorus, it features patterns of the figures and squares, alternating with an orange and yellow version. Just before the chorus starts, it briefly 'rains' some of the figures with an orange trail.
During the chorus, the background is blue and the figures were changing colors such as red, blue, lime green and orange. Larger versions of the figure were flying upwards in an angle, as well as the squares appearing along with them. The figures also has effect similar to the ones from the verses as well as having different colors and layers.
During the outro, the background had a brief static effect before turning to a very dark blue background. The outlines of the figures were in 3D-like effect and shining blue. In each dubstep beat, the head glows yellow and rolls off to the other side before appearing back on its proper place. Once the last Gold Move is done, the figures loss their glow, concluding the routine.
Gold Moves[]
There are 3 Gold Moves in the routine.
Gold Move 1: Point to the screen and run forward.
Gold Move 2: While bent over, cup your hands together as if you were shouting.
