Background[]
The routine appears to take place on a cliffside of a night sky along with Dancity being seen below. The background changes a lot during the routine, but still keeps an urban 90’s theme throughout. Spotlights will also light up to the beat throughout the routine. The background also looks like the music video.
Before the routine starts, a neon pink room with a small purple fading on the wall is seen. As the song starts, windows will light up separately to the beat of the song, while a pink light inside each of the windows will light up after. During Cardi’s verse, one section of the building will be highlighted during the solo part of each dancer, meanwhile blue highlights will swoop in towards it. The highlighted yellow squares transition from inside-out after all of the solo segments.
During the verses, the routine takes place on a rooftop with a skyline in the back that changes between two different colors: one in purple, and another in orange. The buildings will usually flip vertically or horizontally depending on the dancers’ movements. In the pre-chorus, it changes into a warehouse setting, mainly colored purple. In the back, there are staircases with different silhouettes of people dancing on them. Behind that is a city skyline that transitions from orange to blue.
In the chorus, there are various different lines and shapes with the large ones being a circle and a triangle, while palm trees can be found on the right side. There are also two metal fences on each side.
During the bridge, psychedelic panels for each dancer appear. Whenever any of them move, industrial apartment building stairs can be seen behind an orange backdrop. It then changes into a lightning patterned wall. The same transitioning from Cardi’s verse in the beginning happens here, except whenever each section is highlighted, it is patterned in a square design that spins.
The final background is now the same as the first one, but with various sized crates and a platform.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Move 1: Throw your arms down.
Gold Move 2:
- P1: Leaning back, place your right hand under your chin and your left arm across your chest.
- P2: Angled right with your legs spread, place your left arm across your chest and grab your left shoulder with your right hand.
