The toga’s lower part has open slits on both sides and the front central part of the skirt is thinner, revealing her legs as well as a pair of yellow shorts. She also wears a dark gold rope belt around her waist, golden bangles, and a pair of golden sandals. She also wears a vivid magenta glove, specifically bright electric violet.

She also wears a gold rope belt around her waist, golden bangles, and a pair of golden sandals. She also wears a light green yellow glove.
During the bridge, the coaches turn completely black with golden shimmering outlines in their body, hair, belts, laurels, and sandals. Their togas have their respective colors as their outlines. The coaches also have a golden outline.
Background[]
The background takes place in Elysian Way, an Ancient Greek courtyard that provides a view on a sea of fog as well as some structures on the side of the view. In the sky, clouds can be seen, slowly moving along, while there are islands in the farther view of the ocean. Various sparkly plants are growing and hanging around and white silk curtains are visible in some parts of the pillars. The plants also occasionally flash to the beat and rhythm of the music. The coaches are standing on top of a circular pattern, which glows to the beat to the music and its color depends on the time set.
During the night, the sky is dark and features a moon shining below. The plants are darkened and the fog color is blue. The circular pattern glow is colored blue. During the day, the sun slowly rises and the sky has orange and yellow gradient, reflecting on a sunrise. The plants become more visible, revealing their colors such as magenta, lavender, light blue, and green. The ocean is replaced with an orange mist and the circular pattern glow is colored orange.
At random parts of the routine, the arch slowly splits apart as well as with the structures on the side, revealing parts for the chorus. During the chorus, large seashells appear in a window formation, with parts of it glowing pink in the song’s rhythm. At the second part of the chorus, the sky slowly turns its gradient to pink, peach, and lavender (similar to a sunset), and a very large seashell arises in front of the other seashells, colored black and etched with glowing light blue lines in decorative aesthetics. Parts of the seashell as well as some of its designs also flash to the beat of the music. The seashells slowly sink to the bottom before the second verse, with the large seashell sinking last. The same seashell appears before the bridge, but this time closer to the coaches and the etches have a flowing futuristic flow.
During the bridge, the large seashell is superimposed and more details of the etches can be seen. The seashell also becomes more animated and occasionally changes color to the rhythm of the music. The courtyard and the plants completely turns black, with the sky became very dark and the fog and circular pattern glow turns pink. During the second part of the bridge, glitch-like effects can be seen on the seashell, following to the beat of the song. The top parts of the arch also started to flash glowing neon lines in pink, cyan, and violet to the rhythm of the music as well.
During the outro, the seashell shrinks, with the smaller seashells raising up again. The day version of the courtyard is used for the outro.
