The panda has a mohawk that is dyed hot pink, yellow and turquoise. He also wears 3 orange necklaces, a hot pink anklet on his left thigh and a light blue glove on his right hand.

==Background==
The background is a scrolling background which starts with Las Vegas and alternates with it, China, a Wild West town and a city in order, ending with the city. During most of the routine, the music video for the song can be seen in the background. When the first chorus starts, Las Vegas turns dark and starts flashing neon lights to the beat of the song. Throughout the routine, an orange-yellow line appears during the beat of the song under the coaches feet during specific parts. During the last chorus, the line now becomes colorful which starts in a rainbow color order until the end which ends in the orange-yellow color. A convertible car with hydraulic suspension can be seen rearing up and down to the beat of the song during the first chorus and the final part of the song in the background. During Lil Wayne’s verse, the background scrolls to China as sakura flowers fall from the sky and lanterns float into the sky. When the second chorus begins, China turns dark and starts flashing neon lights to the beat of the song. After that, the background scrolls to a Wild West town and cowboy hats can be seen being blown away in the background. When the final chorus starts, the Wild West town turns dark and the background starts flashing neon lights to the beat of the song. Near the end of the song, the Wild West town changes to a city with elements of Chinatown in it as stars, sakura flowers, and cowboy hats are seen being blown away in the background.

* is the fourth song by Lil Wayne in the franchise, after Lollipop, Down and Look at Me Now (all from )
* is the second song to feature a music video in the background of the routine, after Make The Party (Don’t Stop).
**However, as opposed to Make The Party (Don’t Stop), the music video is only featured in certain parts of the routine.
*Bebe Rexha had confirmed by Twitter that the song would be featured on the game a few minutes before the start of the Ubisoft E3 2017 conference.https://twitter.com/BebeRexha/status/874352603282452481
*The song was performed by Bebe Rexha during the presentation of at Ubisoft’s E3 2017 conference.
** However since Lil Wayne was not at the presentation, his part was cut out and Bebe had to sing the beginning to the ending right away.
***This marks the third time an artist supported the announcement of a game, after Flo Rida performing Good Feeling and Jason Derulo performing Want To Want Me.
*The game uses the radio edit, where "xans" and "boobs" (in the line "Kiss both boobs right before I sign them", which is replaced with "Kiss kiss ... right before I sign them") are censored.
**"Bloody noses" and "doses" are censored separately.
* is the first song that samples I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).
*The line "I just wanna dance with somebody" is written as "I just want to dance with somebody" every time it is sung except at the beginning of Lil Wayne’s verse.
===Routine===
* marks the Panda’s sixth appearance in the series, after C'mon, Timber, I Gotta Feeling, Adoration To Happiness and Don’t Stop Me Now (Panda Version).
** The Panda also appears in Happy, but only as a background dancer.
* is the fifth routine to feature interchanging playable coaches, after Song 2, Uptown Funk, Moves Like Jagger, Gangnam Style and Safe And Sound.
**However, this is the first one where the coaches switch places and not transform during the routine.
**It is also the first one where the coaches switch places off-screen.
**It is also the third routine where the coach moves off-screen during the routine rather than at the end, after Mahna Mahna and Don’t Stop Me Now (Panda Version).

**All three codenames are also references to the franchise.
***Cottonmouth is O-Ren Ishii’s codename, Copperhead is Vernita Green’s codename, and Sidewinder is Budd’s codename.
*C3 of P2 is dressed like a male but actually portrayed by a female, who is simply known as Tessa.
