Just Dance 2021 is the 12th game in the dance game series by Ubisoft. It's also the first entry of the main series to not have a Wii port.
Considering the fact that the game was made during the pandemic, the dance routines and overall design took a temporary backseat compared to the previous game. This was later improved in the next game however.

Unused Songs#
Habibi Yaeni#
According to the codenames of Yameen Yasar and its alternate, the choreographies for the song and its alternate were initially created for Habibi Yaeni by Orgonite, meaning that it was originally intended to be in the game. However, the song can still be heard when viewing Autodances for Yameen Yasar.
Run The World (Girls)#
Run The World (Girls) by Beyoncé was intended to be in the game but was later cut for unknown reasons despite the first coach and Major Cym (the second coach of the map) being used in various promotional material for the game. The song also has an extreme version.
Both versions later appeared in Just Dance 2022 however.
Extreme Version#
The Sweet Escape#
The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani featuring Akon was intended to be in the game but was later cut for unknown reasons. Its normal and golden avatars can be found in the files.
Codename Oddities#
These codenames are different from the song titles in the files. Yameen Yasar (codename mentioned previously) and any song titles with punctuation and spaces that perfectly matches the codename without these will not be included.

Alexandrie Alexandra |
Alexandrie |
The "Alexandra" part, which is the second and last word of the song title, was taken out of its codename. |
Bailando |
Bailando1997 |
The codename includes "1997" right after the song title, which was the song's parent album's release year, despite the song itself being released a year earlier. Due to this, the codename "Bailando" was already taken in the song by Enrique Iglesias, which was previously featured in Just Dance 2015. |

Don't Start Now |
DontStart |
|
Ice Cream |
Sorbet |
The codename is spelled differently than the song title itself, possibly due to prevent leaks within the song prior to its release date. In addition, the recording of the map in-game uses the demo version of the audio for the said reason. |

Kulikitaka |

Despite the song title being one word, the "taka" part is absent. |

The Other Side |
OtherSideSZA |
Weirdly enough, the first word in the codename is cut out. However, the "OtherSide" codename was again, already taken in the Jason Derulo song, previously from Just Dance 2014 as an exclusive in the NSTC region and DLC in the PAL region as well. Therefore, one of the song's featuring artists by the name "SZA" is prefixed into the song title. |
