Background
Classic
A living room with orange sofa, orange desk, and many animated cubes appearing on the walls. At the chorus, the wall at the back opens, showing clones of the dancers.
African Dance
The background for the African Dance is similar to that of an Extreme Choreography's. It glows red, green, orange, and turquoise at points at the song.
Papaoutai has a Mashup with the theme "Ultra Violet" which is exclusive to PAL copies of the game. It features dancers that are dressed mostly in pink and purple.
There are 4 Gold Moves in the Classic routine: Gold Moves 1, 3, and 4: Make a semicircle in front of yourself while walking in opposite directions. Gold Move 2: Throw your right hand while you stand on one leg.

African Dance
There are 2 Gold Moves in the African Dance routine, both of which are the same: Both Gold Moves: Leap into the air and put your bent left elbow above your straightened right arm directly over your chest as if you are hugging yourself. As soon as you land, punch the air.
Despite the all of the downloadable tracks in Just Dance 2015 having previews, Papaoutai does not have a preview in the NTSC region.
This is the second family dance in the Just Dance series. The first is Blame It on the Boogie featured on Just Dance 2014. It is then followed by Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) (Family Battle version) and Daddy (Father/Son version).
This is the fourth song to have a child or teenager as a coach in the Just Dance series, after Blame It on the Boogie, and Could You Be Loved. It is succeeded by I Gotta Feeling (Classroom version), Daddy (Father/Son version) and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) (Family Battle version).
This is the seventh PAL exclusive in the Just Dance series.
This is also the second PAL song to be available as a DLC for the NTSC region, with the first being Make The Party (Don't Stop). However, this only applies to the Wii.
Also, Make The Party (Don't Stop) received some changes in its background, while this one didn't.
This is the second regional exclusive song to have a Mashup; the first is Till I Find You from the same game.
Although the avatar can be bought in the Dancer Card section for 5 Mojocoins, when the song is viewed in the Shop (for the NTSC region), the avatar can be seen under "Includes 1 exclusive avatar".
There are many dancers in the Ultra Violet Mashup who are not really dressed in shades of violet, such as Call Me Maybe, Baby Don't Stop Now, and I Kissed a Girl. However, they do wear many articles of pink and/or yellow clothes or their hair is pink or purple.
In the store preview, the audio is not synced with the dance.
This is the first time a PAL Exclusive is nominated in Just Dance Awards.
About 13 seconds of the beginning have been shaved from the final routine (the part where a piano is being played).
Additionally, the first 9 seconds of the ending part were removed from the routine.
Some moves from the African Dance were used in the choreography on the Euro 2016 opening ceremony.[2]
