- During production, both of the pictograms were purple and the meters were different.
- There is a glitch in the shop on Just Dance 2 involving American Boy: when choosing to download Firework, the short preview shows the routine for American Boy instead of the correct one.
- In the trailer for Just Dance: Summer Party/Extra Songs, the coach for Pump Up The Volume is shown dancing in front of the background for American Boy.
