==Background==
The background takes place at the Cygnus Factory, located in Eternyx. Multiple mechanical heads are present.
The routine starts with a giant robotic face shooting smoke in the air and then it shows Leda standing before the dance starts. She later enters the face and inside features a factory of more faces that open in half. After the last one opens, it features a cybernetic hologram head staring at the coach with glitches all over its head. Then, it turns to another Leda (in her imagination) made of pink smoke. Leda turns back to the factory, later then Leda creates magical smoke and she is outside of Cygnus, and Leda is dancing. After the Gold Move, Leda is “flying” throughout the city and the faces in the back are shutting down. In the end of the routine, an eyeball can be seen revealing Night Swan staring at the screen.

==Trivia==
===General===
* is the second Ubisoft original in the history of to be exclusively available on an online song catalog, after Hua Li Tian Hou.
* and Lump are the second and third maps to be released on outside of a season or a game bundle, after Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
===Routine===
* was the fourth routine to be released in more than one online music service on the same day (in this case, and ), after Get Ugly, Juju On That Beat, and No Lie (in and ).
*The routine was originally meant to be used for Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
**The codename, which is based on the title of the original song, was accidentally displayed when viewing the achievement "Enter the Dark Flow".
***The aforementioned achievement references Enter the Danceverses.
**Despite this, the file name for the promotional banner for the map is still "BannerDarkestHour Banner Coach.png", likely because it was created after the map itself.
*Upon the release of in , some subtle changes were applied to the routine.
**As Leda lip-syncs to the originally intended song, the keying on her face has been altered to make her lips significantly less visible.
***As a consequence, when Leda’s head in the background lip-syncs to the second and third vocalizations, her lips do not match the vocalist’s voice.
****Despite this, the coach selection image, as seen in promotional art for the event, retains the original, more visible lips, albeit with a soft pink color. This is also the case with the promotional banner.
*****In , the in-game banner that announces the release of the map reuses the final coach selection image with the lighter lipstick tone, but the assets are based on the ones that were made for Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
**In the outro, Night Swan’s eyes were recolored from green to yellow and some shading effects have been applied to her face, in order to conform her to the changes in her appearance seen from Enter the Danceverses to Dance with the Swan.
*The routine can be seen in the background of Can’t Stop the Feeling! (Danceverses Prince Version).
*Some of the background elements were reused for Beggin’.
*On s French Instagram and Twitter accounts, the release announcement post for the map incorrectly displayed the song title of Survivor before being taken down.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/902870226398494720/1240017314242363524/IMG_20240514_220459_493.jpg?ex=6645b05e&is=66445ede&hm=c529512f03f088f00e715e42804ef9316744acc12d4d607e27babd9374589fe9&
*In the promotional short posted on May 17, 2024, the no HUD for Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is used instead of the final one, as evidenced by the visible lipstick.https://youtu.be/glg-eoehL5A
*Five unused pictograms can be found in the files.
