Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a woman with hot pink poofy hair with yellow highlights. She wears a yellow dress with streaks of purple, that have a arrow-like design, the center of the skirt has purple ruffles. She also wears yellow leggings, yellow ankle boots with purple cuffs, and a pink bracelet on her left wrist. During the chorus, her dress and leggings turn teal and the streaks turn dark red. Her boots also turn teal with red cuffs, and the highlights on her hair also turn teal. She has a pink outline.
Just Dance 2015[]
In the coach selection image for the Mashup of Maps, she looks more realistic. Her face is slightly visible, and the streaks on her dress during the verses and bridge are slightly more reddish. She now has a blue outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, her face is less visible, and her hair Is now darker. Her boot cuffs during the verses and bridge are now dark blue. She keeps her blue outline and her realistic appearance from the menu assets of Maps’ Mashup. The stripes on her dress are more purple.
Background[]
This section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.
Just Dance 3 (Wii)[]
The background seems to be a clock that reflects the sky above. In the first verse, the color of the clock is dark red and when the chorus begins, the color scheme changes to blue. There are clouds which change from pink to stormy blue and clockwork and gears in the far background. The dancer is standing on a platform which seems to be a clock with number 12 missing.
Just Dance 3 (PS3)[]
In the PS3 version of Just Dance 3, the clock is reddish-brown in the verses and aqua in the chorus, and it does not reflect anything.
Just Dance 3 (Xbox 360)[]
For Xbox 360 version background details have been remodeled in 3D. The clouds now go further into distance and surround the clock platform, which makes the coach breifly covered during transition. The platform itself has been remade and now feature Roman numerals instead of Arabic, moving clock hands were added, with hour hand going faster than minute hand. It is also a bit smaller than on Wii/PS3. The background gears have been animated to fit ticking and clicking sounds during intro. Number of floating clock hands has been reduced and they are no longer pulsating.
Remake[]
The remake uses the Wii background, except the gears move when "tick tock" is sung, the clock in which the dancer is standing and the clouds are modified.

What You Waiting For? has an unlockable Sweat Mashup.

Trivia[]
General[]
- What You Waiting For? is the first song by Gwen Stefani in the Just Dance series.
- The clean version, which censors the word "h*e", is used in-game.
- "Damn" has been separately censored.
- The line "Back into Japan" is misinterpreted as "Back and do Japan".
Classic[]
- The routine originally had different moves in the chorus and the bridge. All the other moves were the same as the final ones, but performed in slightly different ways.[2]
- Part of this beta routine can be still seen in the preview gameplay.
- In the beta routine, the pictograms and lyrics were not in sync, and the first pictogram was incorrect.
- In early versions of the coach’s design, the first two arrow-stripes on her dress were green instead of purple and she wore strapped stiletto heels instead of ankle boots.
- The coach still sports this look on the PAL boxart of Just Dance 3.
- The coach’s legs occasionally turn purple due to a glitch.
- There is a mistake on the menu icon in Just Dance 3: both the dancer’s bracelet and glove are shown on the right hand, in spite of the bracelet actually being on the left one.
- In Just Dance 3, the coach is sometimes edited to make her slide back to the middle of the screen; however, this does not happen in the remake, leaving the coach off-center during some parts of routine.
- In Just Dance 3, if What You Waiting For? is the second, third, or fourth routine in any given Solo Medley, the Gold Move sound effect will not play.[citation needed]
- On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, the coach’s hair occasionally glitches, as it turns purple when she bends.
- There is a pictogram on the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3 that does not appear on other consoles, nor in the remake. This pictogram has a thicker and rougher outline than any of the other pictograms.
- Gold Move 2 sometimes appears to have a shorter delay between the first and second part of the Gold Move effect on Xbox 360: if the move is performed correctly, then the second part will appear immediately after the pictogram fades and after the first one finishes, but not as fast as on the Wii and PS3.
- The coach makes a cameo in the background of Just Dance.
- To unlock the avatar of What You Waiting For? in Just Dance 2014, save data from at least one of its predecessors must be present. Because of this, the avatar is not obtainable on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
- The coach was featured in the "Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2014" along with a scene from Kiss You under Dance.
- In the remake files found in the Just Dance Now servers, Gold Move 1 uses the non-gold version of the pictogram despite still scoring the move as a Gold Move.
- The coach has a blue outline in the coach selection image for Maps (Mashup) and in the one for the remake; in the square for the latter, however, the outline color is still pink, like in the original one.
- Despite the fact that the menu icon for What You Waiting For? appears in the teaser for Just Dance Unlimited, the routine is currently not available for the service.
- Additionally, the square in the teaser is actually the one from Just Dance 3.
- In four pictograms in the remake, the back of the arrow blends with the torso.
- Additionally, the part of the body that blends with the arrow is in a lighter shade.
- The routine appears in the background of Sunlight on a TV.
Mashup[]
- What You Waiting For? (Sweat Mashup) is the first unlockable Sweat Mashup in Just Dance 3.
- The pictograms for Party Rock Anthem are orange instead of light blue, those for Maniac are reddish instead of purple, and those for Skin-To-Skin are in a different shade of green.
- Additionally, the pictogram after the Gold Move appears seven beats late on Xbox 360 versions of the game.
- The preview on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 starts at the very beginning, as opposed to the Classic routine.
