## Background

### Classic

A rainbow spotlight is seen over the dancer, spreading its lights across the dance floor. Various animated lights of different shapes come out, one variation at a time. Whenever she steps outward, vertical line lights follow her. After shortly circling around her, the lights then circle around along with her arms.

### Helmet Version

The background is consistent with purple & teal gradient lines to form triangles in a black background. Like *Animals*, parts of this song is split screen to show an active dancer and a dancer that is slowed down.

## Trivia

* This is the second routine in the series not to be chroma-keyed or have a mask. Due to this, the coach's moves look more realistic. The first was *Bad Romance*.
	+ However, this song is fully recorded without chroma-key, while *Bad Romance*'s chorus was captured on chroma-key.
	+ Official extractions of the coach used for the menu square and coach selection screen have a thin orange outline around them, while the coach in the routine has no outline.
* In the song's album coach image, the coach's box head has mirrored colors.
	+ This is also the case in the "JUST DANCE" in-game menu icon and in the *Just Dance Controller* menu.
* On some versions of the *Just Dance* website (like Mexico's version, for example), a GIF for this song is erroneously used for *Cheap Thrills*' place in the "Top Tracks" section of the website.
	+ Additionally, in the GIF's file name, the artist is credited as *Lorem Ipsum*.
* Some parts of the song have been removed, bringing the original length of 4:36 to 3:15.
* The coach's avatar is missing the triangular cut-out at the bottom of the mask.
* The way the coach has a box for a head is similar to how the coach of *Video Killed the Radio Star* had a television for a head.
* The routine has been shot in a dark room with real lasers and fluorescent colors, as proven at E3.
* The background appears in the Nightclub routine in *Just Dance* Machine.
* During E3 demos, the title was "Radical". However, during BGS and in other *Just Dance 2017*-related videos uploaded to the Just Dance UK channel, the title is "RADICAL".
	+ In the final game though its title is "RADICAL".
* Comparing the E3 gameplay with the final gameplay, you can notice that some pictograms look different.
	+ Besides, the routine starts with a loud disco sound, while the E3 gameplay starts with the sound at the beginning of each preview gameplay.
	+ The end of the song sounds different as well.
* The Alternate Version was originally going to be a solo, and have a completely different dancer and background.
* The Helmet Version's coaches are recycled from *Animals*. Thus, this is the 6th routine with returning coaches, after *This is Halloween*, *Hungarian Dance No. 5*, *Timber*, *I Gotta Feeling* and *Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)*.
	+ Some of the gameplay gimmicks from *Animals* also make a return. Featuring scenes where a dancer is changed colour to grey and slowed down while the other simply is dancing in a split-screened background.
* In the Mashup for the song, there is an unknown dancer. She wears a white shirt with a black bow and wears pants that are maroon with a black belt and black shoes. Her avatar was found in the files of *Just Dance 2015*. The dancer bears a slight resemblance to Janelle Monáe.
* In the menu square, the coach looks slightly darker in colour.
* *Marcia Baila*'s moves are not counted on the Wii version of the Mashup.
