==Appearance of the Dancer==
The dancer is a man named Hadley, who resembles Harry Styles. He has deep blue hair that is combed back, deep blue eyebrows, and blue eyes. He wears a golden necklace around his neck that has a pendant at the bottom, consisting of a yellow circle with a red outline and two rectangular blue pieces behind it. He also wears a smaller golden necklace above it that wraps tightly around his neck. Additionally, he wears two circular golden earrings, with one on each ear. He also wears a gold supernova glove.
Hadley is shirtless with his bare torso visible but wears a pink vinyl jacket with sparkly, sequined, and dark pink stripes above the elbows. He also has his sleeves rolled up, revealing his forearms. Furthermore, he has matching high-waisted pants in the same color scheme as his jacket, with sparkly, dark pink stripes that go across his leg and stop at his waist. The leg portion of his pants is fairly loose yet lean while the part that covers his waist and abdominals is skin-tight. He wears golden dress shoes with black soles and a slightly raised heels. He has a yellow glove and a faint yellow glow around it with visible parts of blue throughout the song, likely due to editing errors.

==Background==
The routine takes place on a circular, brick-marble stage that is colored a silver-like gray. Behind Hadley, there are multiple curved pieces of stained glass levitating in the air. The colors of the stained glass vary across the rainbow, yet they vibrate and change brightness and color according to the beat of the song. Additionally, the glass has visible dust on it. During the chorus of the song, the pieces of glass will spin around in their respective frames whenever Hadley raises his arms above his head. In the far background, there is a natural setting with a clear blue sky, a light-to-dark gradient from the left to the right, and a sunset in the mid-bottom. Behind the stage, there are visible, realistic, and green trees. After the chorus, the setting becomes nighttime, where the sky becomes a gradient of black to blue from the top to the bottom, and the curved pieces of glass continue to spin with neon light outlines. 
During the line "Harry, you’re no good alone / Why are you sitting at home on the floor? / What kind of pills are you on?", the plane from Toxic flies overhead at a really low altitude. 
==Gold Moves==
