The routine is performed by a dance crew of all males. All of the coaches are wearing tuxedos, with the only difference being the color of their shoes, bow ties, hairstyles, and the inside of their blazers. Before the routine starts, all the coaches lack their color and golden outline.

Instead of the original routine, the four characters perform a new one, which was made for Jason Derulo’s song "Swalla".
