Trivia[]
General[]
- Best Song Ever is the fifth song by One Direction in the main series.
Classic[]
- Best Song Ever is the third routine for a song by One Direction to be a Dance Crew.
- Best Song Ever is the first pre-Just Dance 2016 map to receive an additional preview gameplay before its return in Just Dance Unlimited.
- Best Song Ever’s menu banner is the third one to portray the original background as it is instead of applying effects to it, after I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.
- P1 and P3 have identical visors and accents on their costumes (albeit with different colors). This also applies to P2 and P4.
- At the end of the song, P2 of Only You (And You Alone) can be seen in the far background.
- When P1 performs his Gold Move 3, the same pictogram is reused despite the other coaches moving their right arms in a circle only once rather than three times.
- In Just Dance 2015, in the pictogram for Gold Move 2, the golden outline around the pictograms merges with the one around the wave symbols; in the pictogram for Gold Move 4, instead, the pictograms and the wave emblems have their own golden outline.
- In one pictogram in Just Dance 2015, the glove emblems are erroneously placed behind the right hands.
- In Just Dance 2015, even though Gold Moves 2 and 4 are Wave Gold Moves, the effect only appears once.
- The issue was fixed after its release in Just Dance Unlimited.
- In the Just Dance Now in-game preview, however, the Gold Move effect still plays once.
- The issue was fixed after its release in Just Dance Unlimited.
- During the last chorus, the coaches do the same parts choreography that’s slightly identical to the music video’s.
- P4 appears in the background of Fire as part of the character selection screen.
- In Just Dance Unlimited, in the pictograms for Gold Moves 1 and 3 for P2, P3 and P4, the golden glow causes the other pictograms to change their colors.
- A placeholder menu banner can be found in the Just Dance Unlimited servers.[5]
- P4’s hand can be seen on the thumbnail for Black Widow’s Just Dance Unlimited trailer.
- In the Just Dance Now preview, the original pictograms are used instead of the remade ones from Just Dance Unlimited; however, the pictogram bar is from Just Dance 2018 and Just Dance 2019, and the Gold Move effect is from Just Dance 2020.
Mashup[]
- Best Song Ever’s Mashup is the only Sweat Mashup in the entirety of Just Dance 2015.
- Boomsday is the only coach from a game prior to Just Dance 2014 to appear in the Mashup.
- Additionally, the coach’s skin and jacket do not turn black like in the original routine.
- Flashdance... What A Feeling is the only coach in the Mashup not to have originated from any Sweat routine.
- The score tracking adds more points to the player’s score than in other songs for unknown reasons. Due to this, it is considerably easy to get 13,333 points.
- The same thing happens in Bad Romance’s Mashup.
- The final moves for Limbo (Sweat) come after the song ends.
