"BOOMBAYAH" (Alternate Version) is featured on Just Dance 2022. Officially, this routine is referred to as an alternate routine to BOOMBAYAH (Extreme Version), but, unlike its counterpart, does not have a caption in the game. Both routines are unlocked for play at the start. It is also featured on Just Dance Now (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024). It was also featured on 舞力无限, but it was removed. The song can be also found in the files of Just Dance+.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is So, P2 of the classic. Her appearance is kept almost the same, except her face is more visible, she is wearing pink lipstick and her facial features are rather different.
Background[]
The background is similar to the one from the classic routine. However, this routine takes place during a clear starry night. The sand is in a light shade of purple, and the fog is magenta-colored. The map starts out with the title card floating over the sky before the camera pans down to the map scene, where only the panda totem is for a moment. The rest of the totem movements stay them same. The totems are now shaded in mono-color shades of purple. Glowing pink meteors cross through the sky during the pre-chorus. On the last chorus, the glowing paint on the totems is now brighter, which appears earlier than in the classic.
Gold Moves[]
There are 3 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Bring your hands to the sides of your head and "tap" it. This move is done while slightly bending down.
Gold Move 2: Raise both arms up from the ground.
Gold Move 3: Put your left hand on your hips and your right hand slowly moving up to your face.

- The alternate routines for Black Mamba, Boombayah, China, and Jopping are the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth to reuse at least one coach from the Classic counterpart (with or without variation), after Giddy on Up (Giddy on Out) (Hold My Hand), Call Me Maybe (Alternate), Everybody Needs Somebody To Love (Hold My Hand), Tribal Dance (Katana Version), Umbrella (With an Umbrella), Let It Go (Sing Along), Water Me (Tennis Version), Swish Swish (World Cup Champion Version), Medicina (Extreme Version), and Temperature (Extreme Version).

- The routine uses a more simplified version of the official choreography than the Classic routine.
- The coach can be seen lip-syncing to “middle finger up” despite it being censored in-game.
- In the preview gameplays for Boombayah and Jopping’s alternate routines, the Nintendo Switch intro is displayed before the gameplay footage.
- On September 26, 2022, quoting French YouTube and Just Dance World Cup contestant TheFairyDina, Just Dance’s official Twitter account posted a Drakeposting meme where Drake’s face is replaced by the coach’s on the top image and by a picture of French YouTube TheFairyDina on the bottom one, "Boombayah" is written on the top left space, and "Boombalah" is written on the bottom left space.[2][3]
- This meme references Part 3 of Dina’s "JUST DANCE 2023 TRAILERS REACTION!" series, where she mispronounces "Boombayah" and "Boombalah".
- The coach reappears in the background of If You Wanna Party.
