The dancer is a woman in 80’s-style clothing inspired from the music video for the song. She has big pink hair, a hairstyle emphasized with high volume, with messy spiky portions on top of her hair. She wears a pink sleeveless top, a two-layered skirt with the top layer pink, the bottom pink with white polka dots, and pink heeled ankle boots. She also wears white hoop earrings, a pair of pink sunglasses, bangles on her arms, and numerous white belts on her waist.
Remake[]
In the remake, her color scheme is now polished and sharper and her facial features are clearer. Her outfit is slightly realistic and she now has a thin bold dark blue outline, which fades to her feet.
Background[]

The routine is set in a room with a wall that has blue and green squares that sometimes light up and a black reflective floor. The squares on the top are coated by purple and red lights and the squares at the bottom are shone on by blue lights.
Remake[]
In the remake, the squares in the background are now blue purple and now pop out to the beat while glowing light blue. Occasionally, the squares light up consecutively, forming a line that either goes vertically or horizontally. There is a small pile of light blue blocks on the ground.
