Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The coach is a woman with medium-length purple maroon hair in a side ponytail. She wears silver hoop earrings, a bright turquoise glove, violet-red bangles on her right wrist, a violet red and purple short sari with blue borders, and purple patent stiletto knee-length boots. She also has purple maroon lipstick.
Remake[]
In the remake, she has a completely different color scheme, and is more realistic. She appears to glow and her skin turns black at some points. Her clothes are now in a different color scheme. She now wears a red and cyan sari with golden borders, her patent stiletto boots are now cyan, her bangles are now red and cyan, and her hoop earrings are now golden. Her hair is now also cyan. Her glove is also now malibu.
Background[]
Original[]
The routine takes place in a small town, likely in India, with shops and power lines outside in the night. Behind the dancer is an auto rickshaw, a small vehicle, with a light that flashes. Also, a shooting star appears in the sky at some points. At some parts of the routine, confetti rains down. In Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background is lighter.
Remake[]
In the remake, the routine takes place in front of a large group of buildings, with light patterns flashing. At one point, the background goes mostly dark except for the light patterns. It seems to be a modern place in India.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine, both of which are the same:
Both Gold Moves: Quickly throw your arms out.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny) is the second song by The Pussycat Dolls in the series.
- There were some changes in the lyrics throughout all games.
- A. R. Rahman’s vocals saying "Jai Ho!" are not included in the lyrics in the original version of the routine, but have been included in the remake.
- "Chase" (from the line "I’ll never lose the chase") is misinterpreted as "chance". This mistake was fixed in the remake.
- The original version of the lyrics displays "nothing" spelled in two ways: "nothing" and "nothin’".
- In the remake, when "Jai Ho!" is sung just before the second verse, the entire line is instantly highlighted, and then the word "Escape" instantly appears in place of said line, being almost fully highlighted.
- On Just Dance 2018 and onwards, "Escape" is highlighted slower.
- In Ubisoft’s press release announcing the removal of specific songs from Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited, the song is mistakenly credited to Selena Gomez & the Scene.[3]
Routine[]
- Two unused pictograms from the original version can be found in the pictogram sprite for the remake.
- In the remake, when the coach changes color, the pictograms still have yellow props despite her glove being blue.
- The colors of the Just Dance VR logo are inspired by the flag of India.
- At the very end of the Just Dance VR extraction, the dancer can be seen walking off the set.
