Background
Classic
A blue electric circle with small yellow lights is first seen, which multiplies until there are a hundred twenty-eight of them. The background zooms into one of them, revealing a dark blue, with neon blue circular lights panning sideways, having copies of itself. Each time a blue circle transitions, a gold spark flashes. The blue circle becomes a large outline for a created golden circle. This created circle splits in half, recreates itself, shorts out, and floats upward. Towards the end of the song, the background becomes pitch black while the coaches are displayed in a faded tint of purple. After that, during the last verse where each coach has solo moves, a golden circle spotlights each coach as they dance, starting with P4 and ending with P1.
Extreme Version
The background consists of many corrupted geometric shapes that roughly syncs with the dancer's moves. These shapes change color at different points of the routine. Every step the dancer takes, he leaves a golden hexagon at the area he stepped on and will fade away after four seconds. He also sprinkles gold dust at some points. A gold pixelization is used during will.i.am's first solo verse. At his second solo verse, a copied black and gold silhouette of the dancer appears in the background.

Trivia
General
Scream & Shout is the third song by will.i.am in the series.
This is also his sixth entry, if his work as a member of The Black Eyed Peas is counted.
Scream & Shout is the sixth song by Britney Spears in the series.
However, it is the only one where she is featured as a guest artist.
Scream & Shout is the longest song in Just Dance 2017, with a time of 4:17.
The official radio edit is used in the game, in which "s**t" (from the line "You gotta turn the s**t up") is replaced with "turn", and "b**ch" is censored.
The song was confirmed by Ubisoft during E3, but information about it was removed later.
A Brazilian flier containing information for the World Cup was leaked and said that the song would have an Alternate routine, which was later proven to be true.
Classic
Several pictograms have been slightly changed in Just Dance Unlimited and Just Dance Now.[3]
Some of the scoring files are named after Céline Baron, Julien Durand and Juliana Herrera, three of the routine’s performers.
There are also four of these files that have been inappropriately named; respectively, their names are "screamnshout_andbritneybitch", "screamnshout_wbritneybitch", "screamnshout_fap" and "screamnshout_goatse".
There are also two pictograms with inappropriate names: "andbritneybitch_ar" (Gold Move 4) and "hellojpg_mo_ar" ("hello.jpg" is the file name of the shock meme Goatse, which is already mentioned above).
In one of the pictograms, P4’s arrow is red instead of pink.
In an interview, the official costume designer for Ubisoft Studios declared that the costumes for the Classic routine are her favorite in the game, because she loved the fact that she could only use two colors.[4]
P1 and P2 appear in the Just Dance Unlimited icon in the main menu of Just Dance 2017, where the black parts of their outfits have a deep purple gradient.
All coaches from the Classic routine appear on the Gold Edition cover of Just Dance 2017.
On 7th-Gen versions of Just Dance 2017, when the dancers "pop out of the square", the glass effect which is used in Just Dance 2014 squares can be seen in the album background.
The glass effect can also be seen in the Just Dance Now cover of the song.
According to an advertisement, Scream & Shout was going to be added in Just Dance Now at the end of December 2016 as part of the New Year’s Playlist.
It was ultimately released on June 26, 2019.
Scream & Shout was supposed to be released on Just Dance Unlimited on May 23, 2019. However, the release date was postponed to May 29, 2019.
In Just Dance Now, the preview uses the original pictograms and the Just Dance 2017 interface.
The background is used the Masquerade Parade Just Dance Now notification.
Extreme Version
Scream & Shout (Extreme Version) is the second routine to have a coach with golden skin, after Dark Horse (P2-C2).
Scream & Shout (Extreme Version) is the only routine in Just Dance 2017 to have pictograms in Just Dance 2016 style.
The Just Dance Unlimited version of Scream & Shout (Extreme Version) has the highest pictogram count in the entire series (306).
In the updated pictograms, the following anomalies can be spotted:
In spite of them being remade in Just Dance 2018 style, one of them uses the old version of the forward arrow.
In two pictograms, the arm is dislocated from the body.
In two other pictograms, the bottom of the arrow lacks its white outline.
Mashup
Scream & Shout (Mashup) is the only Mashup on 8th-Gen platforms not to require an Internet connection.
DARE has new pictograms created exclusively for the Mashup. They are used in the part that does not score any point.
The Wii U version and the 7th-Gen versions lead immediately to the score screen once the song is finished; on the other versions, there is a small pause where American Girl makes her final pose before showing the score.
