In Just Dance: Summer Party, the buildings are not reflected on the floor, which is now black.

Appearances in Mashups

Trivia
- "F**k" is censored in all games.
- "Jeans", "hell", and the whole line "But I'mma like what's underneath them" are censored in Extra Songs; however, these are not censored in Just Dance 2 nor in Summer Party and in the remake.
- This is the first time in Just Dance that a full line is censored, followed by Party Rock Anthem, The Way, Bang Bang, Make It Jingle, Despacito, and Kissing Strangers.
- The lyrics do not display an ellipsis (...) for censored lyrics. When "hell" is censored, it is replaced with a gap.
- During the production of the DLC, both of the pictograms were purple and the meters were different.
- P1's shirt is hard to see due to it being white and blending with his skin.
- The lyric "Rappin’"/"I know what you’re drinkin'" is wrong, as it should be "Ribena I know what you're drinkin’". The word was likely replaced to avoid copyright infringement.
- The line "I’ll show you to my brethren" is misinterpreted as "I'll show you to my bedroom".
- There is a glitch in the shop on Just Dance 2 involving this song: when choosing to download Firework, the short preview shows the routine for this song and not the correct one. This can happen in both of the NTSC and PAL shop.
- In a Beta picture, the pictograms from Chicken Payback are used.
- On the menu icon, P2 is on the left and P1 is on the right, despite this not being the case in the routine.
- In the trailer for Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs, the dancer for Pump Up The Volume is shown dancing in front of the background for this routine.
- Every time the coaches do Gold Moves 2 and 3, P1’s hat and P2’s hair gets lighter.
