==Trivia==
===General===
*Hey Mama is the second song by David Guetta in the main series.
**However, this is Guetta’s fourth song in the franchise, including Nothing Really Matters and Everything Wonderful (both from ).
**It is also the sixth song by Nicki Minaj in the series.
**It is also the first song by Bebe Rexha in the series.
*Among all songs in the series with multiple routines, Hey Mama is the first one where both of them (Classic and Geisha Version) are Trios.
**Born This Way and Hey Mama are the first two songs in the series to have more than one Trio routine (with the former having the Classic routine and a Trio Mashup).
*"Freak", "", "d**k", "b**ches”, and "f**king" are censored.
**"D**k", "f**king", and "b**ches" were already censored in the official music video.
***"Nana" was not censored in the E3 version of .https://youtu.be/kGM4RAVnL7s&t=1m09s
*During the line "Beating my drum like dum-di-di-day," the word "my" is displayed as "the" in the lyrics, and the word "plus" in the line "plus I keep the ..." is displayed as "yes".
*In the E3 demo, an alternate version of the song was used, where the part that samples "Rosie" by Alan Lomax is covered, presumably to avoid copyright issues. However, that part is not covered in the final game.
**This alternate version was also used in the iHeartRadio Summer Pool Party of 2015.https://youtu.be/WooM09YwKzI
*In the servers of , a test Community Remix featuring an Ubisoft employee dancing to the routine can be found.
*Hey Mama is referenced on the playlist of the same name, which was released on May 12, 2023 to celebrate Mother’s Day.
**The Geisha Version is featured in this playlist, but the Classic map is not.
*In Ubisofts press release announcing the removal of specific songs from and , Bebe Rexha is not credited.https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/6YyopoWWnStUG9RgF2tQAN/just-dance-unlimited-updates
===Classic===
*As of October 17, 2019, some pictograms have been remade, with the pictogram for the Gold Move now having a regular yellow glow instead of the red one seen in previous appearances of the map. This change was first implemented on and was then carried over to , thus making Hey Mama the first map to have changes in its pictograms after its initial release in .
*Despite the song being a Trio, P1 and P3 (as well as the unplayable backup dancers) are performed by the same dancer, as seen in the behind-the-scenes footage.
*A score detection file is named "heymama_karatekid.msm", referencing the movie series of the same name.:File:Heymama karatekid classifier.PNG
*The files for Hey Mama show that P3’s icon from the menu selection is less centered than P1’s.
*In the menu, Hey Mama and Born This Way were erroneously placed before Bad Romance.
**This was later fixed.
*The routine was played during the play-off of the World Cup 2015.https://web.archive.org/web/20170429172457/http://www.justdanceworldcup.com/en/news/tracklist-and-prizes/Vh5stx4AALsEUcdg
*P1 and P3 appear in the "How to save playlists" tip on .
*Hey Mama was set to be in All Stars Mode but was scrapped for unknown reasons.:File:Heymama allstars files.png
