The coach is Pele,[3] a woman who appears to be a volcanic goddess. She wears a traditional Native-American garment and has tattoos on her arms and legs which glow orange during the instrumentals and bridge. Her outfit is red and consists of a red tribal bra and a long tribal, red swaying split skirt. Her hair is black with some red highlights and appears to be in dreads. During the choruses, instrumentals, and bridge, Pele’s skin turns pitch black. She is barefoot and she also has a red outline.
Background[]
The routine takes place on volcanic ground and is set in Eternyx.[4] Volcanoes, rocks, and lava rivers can be seen in the background. During the verses, blue bolts of lightning can be seen in the sky. A ferocious sandstorm can also be seen. During the choruses, the lava rivers become less visible. Cracks, crevices, and huge angry flames can be seen in the background. The lava cracks glow and huge flames also spew out. A barrier of steam emanating from an abyss can also be seen in the background. During the instrumental parts, the ground becomes a cracked solid rock. Pele can also be seen standing on a single circular rock ground.
There are 2 Gold Moves in the Classic routine, both of which are the same:
Both Gold Moves: While on your knees, throw your entire upper body in a circle with your arms up.
Both Gold Moves
Both Gold Moves in-game
Mashup[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in the Mashup:
Gold Moves 1 and 2: Put your hands on your legs and shake your body. (Disturbia) Gold Move 3: Hit the air with your fists. (Apache (Jump On It)) Gold Move 4: Put your hands on your chin, as if you are surprised. (Barbra Streisand)
Where Have You Been has the highest number of Alternate routines for a single song in the entire series (Extreme, On-Stage Mode, Mashup, Battle, and Party Master Mode).
Where Have You Been was supposed to be revealed at E3 2013, but its official announcement to social media was ultimately moved to an unknown date after Gamescom 2013.[5] This marked the first time the trailer of a song that was supposed to be revealed at E3 got postponed.
All the routines for the song (except for the Battle during She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)’s parts) have the same move: at the line "Where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-i-fe", all the coaches from each mode move their arms up and down with the palms facing them. This move is inspired from the music video, in which it is done at that moment. There are also some other moves used from the music video.
The coach of the Extreme Version, however, performs the aforementioned move in a slightly different way.
According to her concept art, Pele was originally named "Magma Princess".
An early version of the background was found in Matthieu Petit’s showreel, labeled as a "personal project"[6]
The menu icon used to appear on a picture where one tried to log in to Facebook on Just Dance Now.[citation needed]
The beta Just Dance Now servers feature an early version of the pictograms sprite, which has many placeholder pictograms.
A beta pictogram can be found in the Just Dance Now files.
Strangely, its props are white instead of light gray.
Pele appears in the icon for the Just Dance 2019 playlist "Dance Around The World", in spite of the routine never being featured on Just Dance Unlimited.[7]
The routine appears in the background of Sunlight on a TV.
Party Master Mode[]
The Party Master Mode has a glitch: if the song is switched from Where Have You Been to Follow the Leader in the second chorus, the Gold Move effect appears accidentally. The same thing happens with the same song switch in the Party Master Modes for I Will Survive and Love Boat.[citation needed]
During the preview of the caption "Cute Kicks", Oneeka is displayed without her chroma key, causing her outline to be black and widely faded.
In the preview of the caption "Slider", the coach gets cut out of the screen while he slides towards the right.[8]
The same thing happens with "Wind Up Walk", but with the coach’s left hand.
