"Radical" (stylized as "RADICAL" in-game) by Dyro & Dannic is featured on Just Dance 2017, Just Dance Now, 舞力全开2017, Just Dance Unlimited, and Just Dance+. The song also appeared on 舞力无限 until the service shut down.
The song also has an alternate routine titled "Helmet Version".
Appearance of the Dancer
The dancer is a female robot with neon red skin. Her head has wide blue eyes, red and green skin that is split diagonally across her head, purple-and-orange eyelashes, and a red wind-up key on the top of her head. She wears a colorful galaxy cropped tank, blue high-waist shorts, rainbow galaxy leggings, and red sneaks with green laces and soles.
Background
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.
Mashup
RADICAL has a Mashup with the theme "Back in the day". On the Wii version of Just Dance 2017, the mashup can be unlocked with 20 Mojo Coins. On 8th-generation consoles and PC, the mashup was available for free via Just Dance Unlimited until the shutdown of online services on July 3, 2023. The Mashup features dancers in old-fashioned clothing.

Trivia
General
- Radical, Titanium, and Sorry are the second, third, and fourth routines to have an unreleased alternate routine. They are preceded by Get Lucky.
- The song uses a short version in the game instead of the full one.[2][3]
Classic
- Radical is the second routine in the main series not to be chroma-keyed or have a mask. The first one was Bad Romance.
- However, Radical was fully recorded without chroma-key, while Bad Romance’s chorus was captured on chroma-key.
- On the menu assets, the coach has a thin orange outline around her body.
- The lasers from the background are reused in the Just Dance Machine maps Rave Party and Tectonic.
- On some versions of the Just Dance website (such as Mexico’s), a GIF of the routine is erroneously used for Cheap Thrills in the "Top Tracks" section.
- Additionally, in the GIF’s file name, the artist is credited as Lorem Ipsum.[4]
- The routine has been shot in a dark room with real lasers and fluorescent colors, as proven at E3.
- The coach is absent from the thumbnail of the US preview gameplay.
- Some pictograms were different in the E3 version of the routine.
- Besides, the final 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.
- During E3 demos, the title was spelled "Radical".[5] However, during BGS and in other Just Dance 2017-related videos uploaded to the Just Dance UK channel, the title is spelled as "RADICAL".
- The uppercase version of the title is used in the final game.
- The coach is featured on the back of the cards for Uno - Just Dance Theme Cards.[6]
- In the video advertising the new Just Dance+ releases of September 26, 2024, the original pictograms are reused instead of the remade ones.[7]
Mashup
- The Mashups of Ghost In The Keys and Radical are the fourth and fifth (and final) ones to feature a coach from an unreleased routine, after those of Baby One More Time, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, and Dark Horse.
- No moves are counted during the part from Marcia Baila.
- In the end, the coach of It's You doesn't go down the screen (as in original routine). Instead, his moves got slowed and chopped, as well as faded unsmoothly.
