Appearance of the Dancers[]
The lead dancer is a man and the backup dancers are women.
P2[]
C1[]
The lead dancer is a man who has short black hair that resembles PSY's, and wears black circular sunglasses. He is first seen wearing a yellow tank top, high-waisted pink shorts with suspenders, turquoise soccer socks with horizontal black stripes on the calves, and black shoes. His head is enlarged through the use of a model head and his body is shrunken, making him resemble a bobble-head model. His glove is purple.
C2[]
At the chorus, he wears a blue one-armed shirt under a teal vest. A black band is worn on his upper right arm, over the singular sleeve. The vest has an asymmetrical triangle cut, and the bottom portion has a geometric pattern with various shades of teal. He has dark blue pants, and purple hi-top shoes with white soles. His glove is orange.
P1/P3[]
C1[]
Both backup dancers are first seen with lavender hair in two ponytails. Their headwear includes thin black-framed glasses, and a black headband with two circular protrusions; the circles are split into two halves, which are black on the left and yellow on the right. They wear pink and red split leotards, knee-high socks whose colors match the leotard, and yellow kneepads that have black wraps. Their shoes are teal platforms with white soles. Their gloves are yellow.
C2[]
During the chorus, they change into yellow inflated captain hats with translucent visors (which are under the headband) and bright blue fluffy cropped jackets. Their leotards are now split with purple and maroon, and they wear purple patent knee-high socks. Thick black belts wrap their torso. They wear black, high heel ankle boots. Their gloves are yellow.
Background[]
The routine takes place inside a room with a pink and white tiled floor, a back wall with windows, and two pink side walls with yellow equalizers. During the verse, the floor and window flash a bright blue. During the pre-chorus, the room's hue shifts to blue, then turns back as the floor tiles, equalizers, and windows flash with yellow. At the chorus, the floor flashes pink and black. Small squares of various colors (mostly pink) fly across the ceiling. There are clones of P1/P3 organized in an array during the verse and pre-chorus, and two straight lines behind the dancers during the chorus.
Mashup[]
DADDY has a Mashup on Just Dance 2017 with the theme K-Pop. The Mashup is available on the Wii and was available on 8th-generation consoles and PC for free via Just Dance Unlimited. However, it was later removed due to the shutdown of online services on July 3, 2023. It was later added to 舞力无限. It features coaches dressed in a similar fashion to popular K-Pop artists.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Daddy is the third Korean-language song to be featured in the main series.
- Daddy is the third song by PSY in the series.
- It also counts as CL’s first appearance in the series. She would later appear in the series as a member of 2NE1.
- "Michi****eun" is censored in the lyrics and replaced with a part of CL’s line.
- In pre-release copies of Just Dance 2017[citation needed] and Just Dance Now, the word could still be heard.
- Daddy is not featured in 舞力全开2017 due to China blocking music from South Korea.[3]
- However, it was added to 舞力无限 which was also exclusive to China.
Classic[]
- While the pictogram for Gold Moves 1, 2, and 4 have a regular golden outline, the pictogram for Gold Move 3 has a red one. This makes Daddy the second routine where two Gold Move pictograms have differently-colored outlines, after Us Under The Sunshine.
- Daddy is the only routine from the main tracklist of Just Dance 2017 to not be available on Just Dance Unlimited.
- The routine was first released in Just Dance Now for one day before it is removed. It was later re-added to the service on June 30, 2022.
- The glow in the pictogram for Gold Move 3 is cut off on both sides.
- The routine uses the official choreography from the music video in the chorus.
- P2’s design is also based off of PSY’s appearance in the video.
- In one pictogram, some white pixels can be seen near P2’s right arm.
- In the coach selection menu, C1 of P3’s pink and red schemes on her shirt and socks are swapped.
- On the menu icon, C1 of P1 and P3’s positions are swapped.
- Between E3 2016 and Gamescom 2016, P2’s mouth was black and therefore very visible.[4] However, at the Brazil Game Show of 2016, his mouth is mostly white. This change has been kept in the final build of Just Dance 2017.
- C2 of P1/P3 is featured in Uno - Just Dance Theme Cards as an AI player under the name "Cutie".[5]
- The ears of P1 and P3 are reused for the coach of Imya 505.
- Despite not being on the removal list,[6] Daddy was removed from Just Dance Now for new subscribers on April 9, 2024.
Mashup[]
- Despite the theme being "K-Pop", Gentleman (Sweat) is the only coach from an actual K-Pop song to appear in the Mashup.
- Chiwawa’s Gold Move 1 is not counted as a Gold Move.
- In the Just Dance Unlimited servers, there is an unused thirty-second preview where the background is absent and the routine is notably out of sync with the music.[7]
- Besides, the extractions of You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), Chiwawa, and Starships have not been masked properly: as a result, the first and third coach have a thick solid outline instead of a thin glowing one, and the second one has a solid shadow instead of a faded one behind herself.
- The last time Chiwawa switches to Starships, the background color changes too late.
