"Sax" by Fleur East was featured on Just Dance Unlimited and 舞力无限, but was removed due to licensing constraints. It is still available on Just Dance Now for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024.
The song was originally supposed to debut in the main tracklist of Just Dance 2018; however, it was scrapped from the final game for unknown reasons.
Appearance of the Dancers[]
The dancers are a trio of ladies in superhero outfits.
P1[]
P1 is a woman with shoulder-length black hair. She wears a lavender masquerade mask, blue and orange cap, a pink hooded suit which is cut on the sides of the rib-cage, which exposes a purple strapless bra, a black tied belt, black straps around her left leg, and a pair of navy blue shoes.
P2[]
P2 is a woman with lavender hair done in a high ponytail with bangs. She wears a red and orange masquerade mask, an orange and red short-sleeved suit split in half by color, two black bow-ties (one around her neck and one on her waist), and a pair of knee-high stiletto boots that are half-split between red and orange.
P3[]
P3 is a woman with braided pink hair. She wears a blue masquerade mask, a navy blue suit with halter straps, a corset, a cape at the hips, and navy blue ankle boots.
Background[]
The background begins in a dark, neon-lit area, which moves from right to left. A limousine and the outline of roulette wheels move along this area. This area also briefly appears at the end of the song.
During the pre-chorus, there are three panels, each containing a silhouette of each dancer. It lights up one by one with P3 with the color red talking on a phone, P1 with the color yellow sneaking with a camera, and P2 in the color pink seen clutching a bag. Then the colors shift to different coaches doing fighting style moves. Now their colors are different: P1 is red, P2 is yellow, and P3 is pink.
During the first and second chorus, there are a massive amount of explosive flames with silhouettes of the dancers in the center. It then switches to a glass tunnel (the flames being visible through the glass), where the dancers are on purple delivery trucks. There are also orange and yellow helicopters flying by the dancers.
During the second verse, there is a dark purple safe door, which opens with blue diamonds and blue rectangles tightly formed in a rectangular tunnel where blue cars are driving. A big purple steering wheel is also seen controlling the cars.
In the third verse, the screen is dark blue which means the ocean and there are submarines and an outline of a radar screen. At the final parts of the song, it changes to glowing shapes of satellite dishes and rocket ships with a large countdown meter in the center. The countdown starts in a blue color from the number 20, as soon the countdown starts it turns yellow starting from 19 to 11, and finally red from 10 to 1. After the countdown, the dancers fly through space on a rocket ship along with other rocket ships. Then after the last chorus, a big purple planet that resembles Jupiter appear with flying rockets behind.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine, all of which are right-to-left Wave Gold Moves:
Gold Moves 1, 2, and 3:
- P3: Put your right hand on your right hip.
- P2: Put your hands under your chin.
- P1: Squat down and put your right hand under your chin.
Gold Move 4: This Gold Move occurs immediately after Gold Move 3:
- P3: Raise your right arm.
- P2: Put both hands out in front of you.
- P1: Stand back up and press your hands downward.

Trivia[]
General[]
- "Goddamn" and "ass" (from "smartass") are censored.
- The bridge is cut from the track in the game.
- The following mistakes are present in the in-game lyrics:
- "I need a straight up brother with a James Brown soul" is misinterpreted as "I need to stick around the way you chase round south".
- "Freezin’ cold" is misinterpreted as "Freezin’ ’cause".
- At the first verse, when "Play what I want with that sax" is sung, it is misinterpreted as "Play one on one with that sax".
- The lyric "You better play that sax" is referenced in Just Dance 2023 Edition in the emote of P1 of Careless Whisper.
- In Ubisoft’s press release announcing the removal of specific songs from Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited, Fleur East’s name is misspelled as "Fleur d’East".[2]
Routine[]
- The routine had been first seen in the official music video for The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody), six months before it was leaked.
- Because of this, it also appears in the background of the song's routine, while it's barely visible.
- During the last chorus, P1's left hand mistakenly collides with the loose end of her belt, sending it into her own face.
- Sax’s code name was first discovered in the files of the Just Dance 2018 demo.
- The video file for the routine was later found in the Just Dance Now archives.
- P2 appears in the concept art of the background for All You Gotta Do (Is Just Dance).
- The coaches appear on a sticker, with a background of a golden ship (from 24k Magic) with the caption "OWN3D!". It can be unlocked through the Gift Machine.
- P2 is featured on an early edition of the PAL cover art.
- Also, P1 and P3 are moved closer to P2.
- In both official previews, the font for the players’ names is not Just Dance Bold. Instead, it uses the font for the HUD of Just Dance 2019.
- In the thumbnail for the US preview, the rhombus from Just Dance 2017 preview thumbnails is used along with the signature white glowing trapezoid from Just Dance 2018.
