Background
Classic
The routine takes place in a Latin town street during a celebration, closely resembling Cuba. There are ribbons and confetti falling around the scenery. There are also old-style buildings of varying colors. Retro cars drive on the road. At the chorus, the time of day changes to night. Farther in the background is a beach.
Extreme Version
The background for the alternate routine uses the same templates as the classic mode. The only difference is that colored screens filter it. The filters are primarily pink, yellow, and blue.

Trivia
Despacito is the second song by Daddy Yankee in the series.
Officially, Daddy Yankee is credited as a featured artist. However, he is credited in-game as a co-artist.
The clean version of the song is used, thus "de peligro" (from "Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro") is replaced with "de tu ritmo". In addition, "gritos", "bam bam" (from "Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bam bam" and "Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bam bam"), "pieza" (from the line "Es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas pero pa montarlo aquí tengo la pieza") and the entire line "Hasta que las olas griten '¡ay, bendito!'" are censored.
Although "gritos" is censored, the last time "Hasta provocar tus gritos" is sung, it is not censored.
However, instead of showing "..." for each word that is censored in the line, it only appears once.
In the last verse, "I can move forever", from the Justin Bieber remix, was initially sung instead of "Para que mi sello” This was later fixed, as seen at Russia Comic-Con.
This issue is still present on 7th-generation consoles[8] and Wii U[9] versions of the game.
On 7th generation consoles, the Justin Bieber remix of the song is played when viewing autodance videos of "Despacito" in one's gallery.
In the UK preview video, the coaches’ outfits become lighter in the part from "Quiero ver bailar tu pelo" to "Y que olvides tu apellido". The pictograms turn lighter as well but, unlike the outfits, stay that way for the rest of the preview video.
This detail does not appear in the Gamescom version of the game and in later releases.
Even though Daddy Yankee only says "Fonsi" at the beginning of the song, in the lyrics this appears "Ay Fonsi", like in the music video of the song.
In the thumbnail for the UK preview, the coaches are stretched horizontally.
In a poll conducted by @justdancegame on Twitter, Despacito was reported as the song that most fans were excited for to play in Just Dance 2018, garnering 35% of the votes and beating Swish Swish (34%), Side to Side (24%), and Make It Jingle (7%).[10][11][12]
Despacito was used in the both the North American and British TV spots for Just Dance 2018.[13][14]
There is a glitch during the Extreme version in Just Dance Now. At the end of the routine, the background becomes white for a second before the routine ends.
Despacito has the most watched preview on justdancegame’s official YouTube channel. As of June 10, 2018, it has 3.060.432 views[15]
