"Don’t Stop Me Now" by Queen is featured on Just Dance 2017, Just Dance Unlimited, Just Dance Now, 舞力全开2017, 舞力无限, Just Dance+, and Just Dance VR.
The song has been free to play on Just Dance Unlimited twice: once during Season 4: It’s Showtime, and again during Season 3: Festival!.
The song also has an alternate routine titled "Panda Version".
This song was also created with an early routine prior to the finalized one.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The coach is a man named The Showman, with short hair combed to the right. He has two different designs: the first one is used in the intro and the outro, while every other part uses the second one.
C1[]
The Showman starts out with indigo hair, cobalt blue skin covered in stars, a red rhombus on his right eye, a red an black checkered glitter suit with a high black collar and a narrow triangular hole that exposes a part of his chest, a cobalt blue blanket on each sleeve that lights up at times, a red belt with three cobalt blue triangles pointing to the right in the middle, and a pair of black boots. His outline is blue and glowing.
C2[]
Shortly after the beginning, the camera zooms into The Showman’s right sleeve to reveal his transformation. He now has blue hair, a blue rhombus over his left eye and his outfit now comprises of a red and gold jacket with golden shoulder pads with fringes, large sleeve cuffs, a red collar with a blue outline, a sky blue tank top, black pants with purple glitter checker and lightning held by a pair of suspenders, a golden chain on his left pocket and purple penny loafers. His outline is white and paper-like with a very sharp contour, as if it was cut out.
Background[]
The background begins with a black starry backdrop and piano keys, complete with a spotlight shining on The Showman. The scenery swoops in his sleeve, exposing the man’s second design and a sunny day on a black and white checkered floor. Swooping forward, the scenery contains broccoli, flowers, ladders, pointing fingers shooting to the sky with rainbows, and a few butterfly hot air balloons. It then raises up to an opening stage curtain. The curtain opens up to a content-faced sun with seashells and starfish swooping inward. Afterwards, a piano spiral comes in, with a few decorated joyful live action animals floating in mid-air along with bananas and clocks. After this repeats, the background has the floating animals now bouncing on drums along with a giant crown shining in the background. Once this is over, a butterfly guitar shoots through the sky, leading back to the faced sun. The piano spiral comes in once more, and finally going back through the sleeve, to the area that the song starts at.
Mashup[]
The song has a Mashup which was scrapped for unknown reasons.

Routine[]
- Don’t Stop Me Now was the first routine in the series to have been removed and re-released on Just Dance Now on three separate occasions.
- Don’t Stop Me Now was the first routine to be made temporarily free in Just Dance Unlimited in different seasons.
- C2’s tank top was taken from One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks).
- The background reappears in Wherever I Go and Don’t Worry.
- The fairy, the crab, the lion and the bird that appear during the chorus likely reference the crest in Queen’s logo.
- In some screenshots, C2 has a light blue faded outline instead of a paper-like outline.
- Additionally, his outline is white-and-purple and thick on the menu instead of paper-looking.
- The emblem from the song’s cover art is used in the routine.
- The Showman's costume required twelve days to be created, due to the huge variety of fabrics and weaves that compose it.[4]
- The Showman's silhouette and background were used to tease Just Dance 2017 via social media.[5][6]
- In the E3 preview, C2’s pictograms have the same color as C1’s; in the final copy of the game, however, they are red.
- When Don’t Stop Me Now was re-added to Just Dance Now along with the first release of Run the Night, September, and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), it did not appear in the "Songs A-E" section, nor in the "Recently added" section and in the "Solos" playlist.
- This issue was fixed after its third release.
- Don’t Stop Me Now was one of the routines selected for the digital qualifications of the Just Dance 2017 World Cup.[7]
- In an event held on Just Dance’s official Twitter account to pick the Just Dance coaches meant to make a cameo in the new music video for Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels, the coach has been given the name "Mister Fahrenheit", which is a reference to the line "That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit".[8]
- This also happens in an image from Just Dance’s Twitter account that promotes Season 3: Festival!.
- However, from Just Dance 2023 Edition onward, he is now referred to as "The Showman".
- This makes him the second coach after Liza Friday to have their name changed after official confirmation.
- The Just Dance Unlimited teaser that announced Don’t Stop Me Now was playable for free as part of Season 3: Festival! uses footage from the recording made for the original teaser. The thumbnail, however, has been remodeled following Just Dance 2022’s template, and the end card follows Just Dance 2021’s template.
- This is not the case in the YouTube announcement for Season 3: Festival!, where the Just Dance 2021 HUD is used.
- Don’t Stop Me Now was originally announced as one of the maps that would have been free to play from January 12 to January 19, 2023 as part of the Just Dance 2023 Edition version of World Tour[9], but it was ultimately replaced with Boys.
- The routine appears in the background of Sunlight on a TV.
Mashup[]
- The following anomalies can be noticed:
- The coach of Kiss Kiss is noticeably slowed down at the end of his appearance.
- The coach of I Luh Ya Papi has a beta, less saturated color scheme.
- The coach of Fine China does not fade away at the end.
