"Beauty And A Beat" by Justin Bieber featuring Nicki Minaj is featured on Just Dance 4, Just Dance Now, Just Dance+, and Just Dance VR. It is also available as a downloadable track on Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015, though current availability varies by console and region. The song was also featured on Just Dance Unlimited and 舞力无限, but was removed.
The song also has a Battle against Call Me Maybe.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The coach is a man named Joshua. He is wearing a pair of blue stone-wash jeans, a light blue buttoned shirt, and a sleeveless vest jacket. His hair is black and is styled in the same way Justin Bieber wore his hair in 2012. He wears a pair of leather black boots. When the electronic part hits, his shirt changes from light blue to dark yellow.
Background[]
The background takes place at the Beautiful Lookout, a small lit up stage high above Dancity. The lights of the city can be seen below, divided by a river that leads into a larger body of water. Stars appear shooting up into the purple night sky, reflected in the water, and the lights of the city pulsate to the beat of the song. Purple clouds move across the sky to the left while green aurora borealis can be seen moving across in both directions. Right before the first Gold Move, a large white orb is shot up from the ground, leaving a cyan trail. Several of these are shot up into the sky from further away during the next few lines of the song. During the electronic part of the song, the stage turns orange and the background turns dark void with blue bokeh lighting and yellow geometric patterns. After the electronic part, the background from the beginning repeats. Once Nicki Minaj’s verse begins, the background from the electronic part returns, with the stage and bokeh lighting appearing yellow and pulsating slower. The lighting moves in the direction that the coach moves his arms. After Nicki Minaj’s verse, the background goes back to the skyline, with several orbs shooting up into the sky. The background shifts back to the bokeh lighting for the final electronic break, before switching back to the city for the final Gold Move. The background then fades to black as the song ends.

- Gold Moves 1 and 2 were initially not meant to be Gold Moves, as proven by a beta pictogram in the Just Dance Now files.
- In a promotional video by Ubisoft, Justin Bieber surprised his fans, who were playing his song, and he got to dance to the routine.[3]
- In the Just Dance 4 Wii U title screen, Joshua presents with a pinkish-red glove instead of a yellow one.
- The shirt Joshua wears is reused in Safe And Sound for C4.
- In the Just Dance 2014 files for Mashups and Party Master Modes, the codename is shortened from "beautyandabeat" to "beauty".
- From Just Dance 2014 onwards, the menu assets depict Joshua with a teal shirt instead of a light blue one and a purple outline instead of a yellow one; however, the colors have not been changed in the gameplay.
- From Just Dance 2014 onwards, more moves are counted while the dancer punches downward.

Mashup[]
- There is a glitch on Just Dance 4, where two of the songs play at the same time.[citation needed]
- Good Feeling (Extreme Version) does not turn black during such a part of his routine, like he did in the original.
- When Joshua appears for the fourth time, his moves do not match the Classic routine while at the same part. Instead, his moves are directly recycled from his second appearance.
- It’s Raining Men has no moves in the total of her appearances, leading to a cameo. This makes Beauty and a Beat, Crucified, Good Feeling, Maneater, and You’re the First, the Last, My Everything the first five Mashups to have a cameo.
Puppet Master Mode[]
- The pictogram that replaces Baby Don’t Stop Now’s Gold Move 4 is more purple than magenta, and its arrow is more pointed to an aquamarine green tone.[4]
