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 ankle boots with purple cuffs and a pink bracelet on her left wrist. During the chorus, her dress turns 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 from the menu assets of Maps’ Mashup.
Background
The background seems to be a clock. In the first verse, the clock's color is pink 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. There is more animation in the Xbox 360 background.

Trivia
General
- What You Waiting For? is the first song by Gwen Stefani in the Just Dance series.
- "H*e" and "damn" are censored.
- There are four versions of the song: the explicit version, the clean version, the extended explicit version and the extended clean version. The game uses the second which removes the "h*e" such that "Take a chance you stupid h*e" becomes "Take a chance you stupid".
- The line "Back into Japan" is misinterpreted as "Back and do Japan".
Classic
- On Xbox 360, the coach’s hair occasionally glitches as it turns purple when she bends.
- The Beta routine had a different choreography, which was removed for unknown reasons. Part of it can be viewed in the preview here.
- The pictograms in the beta routine from the preview were also not in sync, and the first one is incorrect.
- The top two arrow-stripes on the dancer’s dress were green but, in the final release they are purple like the others.
- Gold Move 2 sometimes appears to have a shorter delay between the in-shine and the aftershine on Xbox 360: if the move is performed correctly, then the aftershine will appear immediately after the pictogram fades and after the in-shine finishes, but not as fast as the Wii and PS3.
- The coach makes a cameo in the background for the Classic routine of Just Dance.
- There is a glitch where the coach’s legs turn purple when she does a certain move.
- The coach was featured in the "Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2014" along with a scene from Kiss You under Dance.
- The coach is featured on the PAL boxart.
- If What You Waiting For? is the second, third or fourth song in any given Solo Medley, the Gold Move sound effect will not play.
- The clock where the coach dances on is different between Wii and PS3: on Wii, it is dark red in the verses and dark blue in the chorus, and it reflects the sky; on PS3, it is reddish-brown in the verses and aqua in the chorus, and it does not reflect anything.
- On Xbox 360, the first pictograms of the routine slide much slower than the others.
- Despite the fact that the song appears in the teaser for Just Dance Unlimited, the song is currently not available for the service.
- Additionally, the square in the teaser is actually the square found in the Just Dance Now files.
- There is a mistake in the square; both the dancer’s bracelet and glove are shown on the right hand when the bracelet is actually on the left.
- Additionally, the dancer has a blue outline in the Just Dance 2015 half-coach and in the remade version but, in the remade square, the outline is still pink.
- 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.
- To unlock What You Waiting For?’s avatar 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.
Mashup
- What You Waiting For? (Sweat Mashup) is the first unlockable Sweat Mashup in Just Dance 3.
- What You Waiting For? (Sweat Mashup), along with Take On Me (Mashup) and Jump (For My Love) (Sweat Mashup), holds the record for the fewest unique dancers, with 5.
- Party Rock Anthem’s pictograms are orange instead of light blue, Maniac’s pictograms are reddish instead of purple, and Skin-To-Skin’s pictograms are in a different shade of green.
- Additionally, the pictogram after the Mashup’s Gold Move appears seven beats late on Xbox 360 versions of the game.
- When previewing the mashup, the song preview starts at the very beginning, unlike the original routine.
