"Hot For Me" by Akasha[1] (formerly known as A.K.A) is featured on Just Dance 4 and Just Dance+.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is Jennifer, a female football player. She has brown hair towards the right side of her face. Pink stripes can very faintly be seen painted on her cheeks. She wears an indigo blue sports bra with hot pink and yellow shoulder pads, indigo blue padded Capri pants, and hot pink and yellow sneakers. She appears with an animation that consists of white concentric circles that fall down and spread on the floor, as well as other black circles on her body that fade away and reveal her details. Many sparkles evaporate as soon as the circles fade away. At the end, Jennifer returns black and fades away.
Background[]
Wii/PS3/Wii U[]
The background is a dark football stadium with four black screens called Dancity Stadium. When Jennifer stretches her arms out, two rectangles pop up behind her and fade away while stretching out. During several parts of the verses, the screens light up and display white and blue concentric circles spreading for a couple of seconds before fading back to black. The blue circles gradually fade from light blue to purple. Sparkle effects swirl around Jennifer at certain times.
In the pre-chorus, light blue rectangular spotlights that are placed behind the screen light up one after the other.
In the chorus, the stadium lights up, and it shows four shaded cheerleaders who copy Jennifer’s movements and fade away as soon as the chorus ends. The spotlights and the screens light up, and the latter display white and light blue arrows pointing towards Jennifer, which start to slide as soon as "Make it hot for me" is sung. Two white straight lines slide on the floor alternatively, depending on where Jennifer steps. Behind all these items, a gray tribune with flashing lights, guardrails that range from light blue to fuchsia, and four smaller copies of the spotlights can be seen. When Jennifer shakes her shoulders, she emits yellow and fuchsia particles; when she raises her arms up, white concentric circles rise from the ground; when she punches her hands on her chest, two white rectangles pop up and fade away immediately while stretching out. The screen zooms in diagonally every four beats.
As soon as the bridge starts, the background returns to darkness and red smoke spreads around the coaches, with the cheerleaders remaining instead of fading away. Six fires (four over the screens and two on the floor) light up and burn as soon as the singing starts, and confetti flies around the scenery. When Jennifer punches her arm while walking, the screens light up depending on the direction she is following. In the second part of the bridge, red balloons fly behind the screens.
The fires and the balloons remain during the final chorus; the latter fade away gradually, although they come in a wider range of colors. When Jennifer claps her hands, she creates white concentric circles.
Xbox 360[]
On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 4, the ground is much brighter, revealing several white lines and four shadows of Jennifer. In the chorus, the cheerleaders are less visible. In the bridge, the scenery is darker, there is less smoke and the balloons are red and gray in the bridge. In the final chorus, the balloons have different colors and do not fade away. Before Gold Move 3, the cheerleaders fade away one by one.
Just Dance+[]
On Just Dance+, the scenery is brighter.
Gold Moves[]
There are 3 Gold Moves in the routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: Put your hands up in the air and jump.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The clean version of the song is used in-game, in which "lollipop bra" is changed to "pop pop pop ..." (with "bra" being censored); and "f**k" is censored during the line "I’ll show you how to ... right."
- Contrary to other cases, "f**k" is censored with a beeping sound effect.
- This is the second song by Ubisoft where a line was changed from the original song, following Baby Don’t Stop Now.
- In Just Dance+, the censored words are not replaced by ellipses.
- Hot For Me was referenced by Ubisoft in the ESRB label of Just Dance 4, in which the following lyric was cited: "Temptress, hands up, naughty on the inside,".[2]
- The artist is credited as A.K.A. instead of A.K.A on the Season 3: Lights Out trailer.
Routine[]
- Hot For Me is the second routine to take place in a stadium, after Futebol Crazy.
- The US preview gameplays of Hot For Me and Make The Party (Don’t Stop) are the first ones since those from Just Dance 2 to feature lyrics and only one player instead of four.
- However, in that of Hot For Me, the player is not playing at all, unlike in that of Make The Party (Don’t Stop).
- On Just Dance 4, the pictograms are blue-purple with golden arrows, despite Jennifer’s outfit being blue and her glove being more greenish-yellow.
- On Just Dance+, the pictograms have been recolored to match Jennifer’s color scheme, but the original color can still be seen on the lighter parts of the pictograms, specifically on the head and the shoulders, as well as on the limbs when they are facing the screen.
- There is an incorrectly recycled pictogram in the routine. The pictogram tells the player to put their left hand on their hip and put their right hand in the air, but Jennifer puts her left arm in a 180 degree angle instead.
- In the US preview, the player’s name is smaller than it should be in-game.
- On Just Dance+, the audio preview starts at the beginning, leaving a few seconds of game audio in.
- The same happens with Dance All Nite and Crazy Little Thing.
- On Just Dance+, there is a black rectangle towards the top of the routine that disappears once the chorus starts.
- The black screen is absent on the Just Dance+ map background.
- The Just Dance+ cover and map background assets were not made with a screenshot of the background without the coach on it, but rather edited by expanding the menu square using content-aware fill, as seen by various editing mistakes.
- Jennifer returns as the coach of Exes with a new outfit.[3]
- The tweet that confirms the canonical link between the two routines reads "Never graduated since 2014 but still bringing it on the field x", even though Just Dance 4 was released in 2012.
