The coach is a young woman named Cat with long pink hair in a ponytail. She wears a dark purple golf visor, a large light blue hairclip on her hair, a round dark purple hoop earring on her left ear, a light blue jacket with a deep violet and a pink "8" on her right and some deep violet and pink stars with light-neon green ending sleeves over a deep violet top with cutouts, a pink-and-deep violet checkered skirt with a dark purple lace on it, dark purple socks with a two horizontal pink stripe, and light blue and white sneakers with soles and laces. Her glove is indigo purple. She has a dark fuchsia glowing outline.
Background[]
On a black background, brightly-colored shapes, circles, triangles, and lines appear through the song. At some points, colored lips become visible. Before the chorus, colorful glass shards show up. In the chorus, flashing squares and lines appear and disappear on screen to the beat. During the bridge, a red aura is seen behind the dancer, and swirls around before changing color.
In the end, two pairs of lips can be seen in the right and in the left of the dancer. Them, along with the dancer, slowly close fast.
Gold Move 1: Lift your right leg up and cross your arms as you hit them towards the ground. Gold Move 2: While raising your right leg, put your right hand on your hip and your left hand on your head before swiftly moving in a circle.
Problem is the second song by Ariana Grande in the series.
Problem is the second song in which Big Sean is featured. His first appearance as a featured artist was in Wild.
Big Sean is not credited in the music video or the song, but he is credited in Just Dance.
Problem is one of the songs to have a Dancemas ornament in Just Dance 2018.
Files for an unused Party Master Mode can be found among data for Just Dance 2015.[2]
From Just Dance Unlimited onwards, the word "problem" is written as "Problem" the first time Iggy Azalea sings it and every time Big Sean sings it, despite it never appearing at the start of a line.
In Ubisoft’s press release announcing the removal of specific songs from Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited, Big Sean is not credited.[3]
Classic[]
Problem was the second pre-Just Dance 2016 map to have a new gameplay teaser released to mark its addition to Just Dance Unlimited, after Best Song Ever.
Some moves in the choreography are taken from Ariana Grande’s moves in the music video and her concert performances.
Cat’s glove was initially neon green but, in the final release, it was changed to indigo purple.
In addition, the pictograms in the preview have red arrows instead of blue-purple ones.
The arrows were still red in the Gamescom version of Just Dance 2015, even though the coach’s glove had already been changed to indigo purple.
Problem won in the Favorite Female Coach category in the second Just Dance Awards.[5]
A placeholder menu banner can be found in the Just Dance Unlimited servers.[6]
In Just Dance Unlimited, the pictogram arrows are pointed more towards blue, and some pictograms have been updated.
Additionally, the pictogram for Gold Move 2 has been moved a bit more towards the center.
On April 17, 2021, the thumbnail for the Just Dance Unlimited preview uploaded on the Just Dance YouTube channel was changed to a variant of the thumbnail with Cat now zoomed in.
On April 25, 2021, the thumbnail was restored to the original variant with the coach’s full body seen.
According to an Instagram post by @justdance_uk on April 22, 2021, the coach is named "Cat".[7]
In that post, a fictional story about her past was shared: "Cat’s life hasn’t been a walk in the park. She’s seen her fair share of challenges, most recently her break up with Keenen. She thought he was The One and their bond was unbreakable – she was mistaken 😔💔 But she turned to dance and it has changed her life. Now she’s leading her crew in the Versus Dance Contest to show what she’s made of 💪🏆 But who’s this ex, what’s his story?"
This name might be a reference to Cat Valentine, the character that Ariana Grande played on the Nickelodeon show Victorious.
In 舞力全开, the score card cover of Circus is mistakenly labeled as Problem’s.
When Problem was first uploaded to the Just Dance Now servers, the original pictograms and lyrics were used.[8][9] After the release of the map in Just Dance Unlimited, however, the updated lyrics and pictograms were used instead. Additionally, the "JDVersion" string reads "2016", implying that some changes had already been applied to the map before the launch of Just Dance Unlimited.
The cover was different too, as the coach was placed on the left side and in her menu icon pose, and the background was less blurry and positioned differently.
In the Just Dance Now preview, the original pictograms are used instead of the remade ones; however, the pictogram bar is from Just Dance 2018.
The lips in the background are likely similar to the Vowelles from the children's show Between the Lions.
In the menu icon, P1 of Me And My Broken Heart’s pants are blue instead of orange, and P2’s collar is blue instead of red. In the actual Mashup, the original colors are kept.
Problem’s Mashup can be found in the .zip file from the Just Dance Now servers.
Community Remix[]
The Community Remix for Problem was removed for unknown reasons.
When it was still available, the game crashed if it was played on the Wii.[10]
