"Pound The Alarm" by Nicki Minaj is featured on Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance Now (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024). It was also featured on Just Dance Unlimited and 舞力无限, but was removed on August 1 and 2, 2024, respectively.
The song also has an Extreme Version that debuted on Just Dance 2014 as a downloadable track.
Appearance of the Dancers[]
The routine is performed by four female dancers that are dressed in Carnival attire as based on the Pound the Alarm music video.
P1[]
P1 has puffy brownish-black hair. She wears an orange feather headdress, an orange loose sleeveless tank top, red shorts, orange fishnet tights, a glove the changes from bright turquoise to picton blue, and orange heeled sandals with black straps.
P2[]
P2 has long black hair and a yellow and red festival crown. She wears a purple and yellow sleeveless leotard with purple feathers on the shoulders and long purple boots. She also has triangular purple makeup over her eyes.
P3[]
P3 has long, free-flowing brown hair. She wears a red tube-top with multiple cut frills at the end, black pants with red and yellow chevron designs at the end, and red frilled boots. She also has a red, white, and black triangular festival crown, yellow face paint, and frills on her arms similar to the ones on her tube-top.
P4[]
P4 wears a flamboyant outfit. She has brown hair braided into cornrows. She wears a pink bikini top with cut-out designs on the upper chest, pink skinny pants with yellow and bright blue squares on the sides and a bright blue design on the front, pink and bright blue triangle-layered wings, and bright blue boots. She has pink and bright blue face makeup and has pink and bright blue bangles on her left arm.
When the chorus of the song begins and during certain moves, their skin turns black, and their hair turns white. Outfit color schemes also change, with P1 turning blue, P2 turning red, P3 turning purple, and P4 turning lime green.
Background[]
The routine starts in a maroon room with a flower in the right and confetti. When Nicki starts to sing, a red and black path with triangles is seen, and the flower starts to glow.
Before the pre-chorus, the background turns black, and there is a blue spotlight with a pink circle. After the first Gold Move is performed, the background returns to the same as the beginning.
During the chorus, the background returns to the second shape it was, but there is smoke in the background, and lights are moving. When Nicki does not sing, the pink circle glows.
Mashup[]
Pound The Alarm has a Mashup that can only be unlocked in July.

Routine[]
- In the Classic routine, before the song starts, a shortened version of the melody from the beginning of the music video appears.
- P2’s color scheme is incorrect on the menu square and coach selection screen of the Classic routine, as the eye makeup and feathers are pink instead of purple.
- In the menu square, it can also be seen that the coach’s suit is blue and yellow instead of black and purple and the stripes on her boots are red instead of purple. In the coach selection screen, the purple part of the suit is purple with blue accents.
- P2 and P3 switch color schemes in the chorus.
- When P1 is in her neon state, she is seen in completely inverted colors.
- The following editing glitches can be seen in the routine:
- During the bridge, despite being in her neon state, a small part of P1's arm can be seen white (instead of black) for a few seconds.
- A part of P1’s glove sometimes glitches from light blue to purple.
- P3’s avatar can be unlocked in Just Dance 2015 by reaching Level 4000 on the World Dance Floor.
- At the launch of Just Dance Unlimited, the Classic routine was not synced properly, with the video being approximately one line ahead of the music. This was later fixed.[citation needed]
- However, this is also present on the Just Dance Now preview. It has not been fixed.
- In the Just Dance Now files, there is a move that is named poundthealarm_powerrangers.msm, which is a reference to Power Rangers.[4]
- Despite never having been in the game, the routine can be seen in a 舞力全开:活力派 promotional image.
- Pound The Alarm is the first routine to have an inverted effect applied to the coaches.
