Trivia

• Istanbul (Not Constantinople) was supposed to have a Mashup, but for unknown reasons, it was removed from the final game.
• In the beta version of Just Dance Now, there is a bug that makes everything disappear, giving a black screen for some seconds, and then everything starts, but the routine, lyrics and pictograms remain not synced with the song for the rest of the time. However, it happened only in one video.
• In the game, the song is simply credited as Istanbul. The full name of the song is Istanbul (Not Constantinople).
• This is the first all-animal dance crew routine. It is followed by Copacabana and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
• In the menu icon, the coaches pose in front of a gold glittery background instead of the actual background for this routine.
• P3 later makes an appearance as P2 in Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
  • Every other coach in that routine was P2 of their original routines.
• In Just Dance Unlimited, Istanbul (Not Constantinople) does not appear in the Just Dance 4 playlist.
• This is the second song with the name of a city in its title.
