Background
Classic
The background is a red desert with large mountains. The sky and mountains receive glowing tiki patterns. There are end tables with fires on top, whose bases glow red and also receive the same patterns as the sky and mountains. The sky changes from sunset to nighttime. Two different backup dancers, one male, and one female, are seen with outfits similar to Burn and P4 from Lean On and black skin. These dancers are each duplicated behind.
Sumo Version
The background takes place in an outdoor wrestling floor with a golden gong, a pagoda roof, fireworks, and jumping maneki-nekos. The background blackens and spotlights on each dancer who makes leading moves.
VIPMADE
The coach dances in front of a brown-greyish wall, with the mountains and the torches from the original routine on her sides.
Mashup
Hips Don’t Lie has an unlockable Mashup with the theme Caliente.

Hips Don’t Lie was confirmed by Ubisoft during E3, but information about it was later removed.
Hips Don’t Lie was planned to be officially revealed at Gamescom, but it was prematurely revealed 2 weeks earlier, along with Cake By The Ocean and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
A pictogram for Ain’t My Fault is named "theme_hipsdontlie_sh.png", in a reference to the song.
Two of the pictograms shown in the preview were placed in wrong positions; this mistake was fixed for the BGS demo.
Sumo Version
The coaches were supposed to have a blue outline instead of a purple one, as seen in the Beta menu icon.
The dancers are also in a different pose.
Hips Don’t Lie (Sumo Version) and What Is Love (Car Version) are not included on the World Dance Floor in the 8th-Gen version of Just Dance 2017.
However, they are available in the 7th-Gen version.
A sticker of the cat can be unlocked in Just Dance 2020 by dancing to Sushi (Extreme Version) three times.
Mashup
In the Mashup, I Luh Ya Papi has a slightly different color palette and more visible facial features, and a pictogram for that routine is placed more upwards on the slide.
VIPMADE
The VIPMADE for this song is exclusive for The Netherlands.
This makes Hips Don’t Lie (VIPMADE) the third country-exclusive VIPMADE routine, after Cake By The Ocean and Oishii Oishii respectively.
The VIPMADE routine consists of several videos combined together into one.
This is the first VIPMADE routine to behave this way.
This happens because Sophie makes several mistakes throughout the song.
In the preview gameplay, the song is titled as HIPS Don’t Lie.[5]
