Background[]
Original[]
The routine is set in a room with a greenish-blue wall. There are three green and blue diagonal lines on the left side of the wall along with two identical smaller ones stacked on top of each other on the right side. There are also sparking purple electrical waves that are placed across the wall.
Remake[]
In the remake, the wall is now blue and the electrical waves have been removed. The lines on the left appear one by one during the intro and bounce to the beat throughout the routine.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The shortened version of the song is used in-game.
- Anything sung after the final "I want..." is not shown in the lyrics.
- The second time "While your feet are/Stompin’" is sung, the lyrics misspell it as "While your fee are/Stompin’".
- The line “Get your booty on the floor tonight” is misinterpreted as “Get your body on the floor tonight”.
- The line "Awa, a place to stay" is misinterpreted as "I want a place to stay".
- Despite every word of the song title being capitalized in the music video and in music streaming services, Just Dance and the song description file from the Just Dance Now servers[3] do not capitalize the article.
- In the Amazon page for Just Dance, "Up" is not capitalized either.[4]
- Pump Up the Jam is referenced in Boombayah.
Routine[]
- The dancer appears on the back and front cover on the PAL version of Just Dance and on a lot of promotional material for the game.
- The routine is used in the trailer of Just Dance.
- The beta coach was much brighter than his finalized appearance.
- The menu square uses this beta element.
- In the Just Dance files, there is an early version of the menu icon, where the background is replaced by a horizontal purple gradient and the coach’s color scheme is orange and yellow, thus being closer to his actual one. Besides, his body is surrounded by a red outline.
- In the beta version of the routine seen at PAX 2009, the background had no animations.[5]
- As opposed to Girls & Boys, Jerk It Out, and Le Freak, the pictograms for Pump Up the Jam that were created for Mashups and Puppet Master Modes on Just Dance 4 were not used as placeholders in the files of Just Dance Now.
