RELATED: Beginner Tips For Just Dance 2022 You Need To Know
Just Dance 2022 can attract a wide array of gamers, but there are two types to consider most. First, there are the exercise buffs who will buy Just Dance 2022 to stay fit. Then there are the multiplayer enthusiasts who will get the game for party situations. Of those two categories, these are the ten best songs in Ubisoft’s latest hit that should help create a lot of fun energy and sweat.
Updated November 5th, 2022, by Jerrad Wyche: They say that death and taxes are the only things certain in life, but the release of new entries in the Just Dance series is just as likely. Just Dance 2022 is the latest generation of the hit game series, and fans love to move and groove to songs from various eras. With new music garnering mass appeal every few months, it’s important to know which songs in Just Dance 2022 capture the vibe and are inarguably the most fun to dance to.
13 Last Friday Night
“Last Friday Night” by Katy Perry is like a culmination of the entire series. It begins with a seemingly shy girl dancing at a party before random guests start jumping in and showing her dance moves.
All of these characters are from past dances in the series, most of which are Katy Perry performances. “California Girls” and “Dark Horse” are just two examples. Then there are other dancers in the background having a good time. The vibe of “Last Friday Night” is pure fun.
12 Boss Witch
“Boss Witch” by Skarlett Klaw is a cover and a rearrangement of “Boss B****” by Doja Cat. Censorship is one of the larger issues plaguing this game. However, this cover is actually a good choice. It’s a fun play on words, has a spooky rhythm that gives it that Halloween spirit, and it’s a fun routine.
Would it have been better if the original song was in the game or if, at least, Doja Cat sang “Boss Witch" instead? Maybe, but it all works anyway.
11 Think About Things
“Think About Things” by Daoi Freyr is another great-looking song in the game. It’s a more traditionally CG animated production that looks straight out of Dreamworks film. It isn’t promoting a movie or anything like that, though.

“Think About Things” was actually going to be entered into the 2020 Eurovision contest before it was canceled. The song still made quite a splash online, so much so that Ubisoft saw fit to put it into this game. It’ll be hard to get the song out of the old noggin after dancing to it.
10 Don’t Go Yet
“Don’t Go Yet” by Camillo Cabello is another song that is technically in Just Dance 2022, but it requires an online connection. Negatives aside, the song is a great quartet and perfect for a party.
It is perhaps the closest conversion from a music video to a video game. There are even moves that are only seen briefly in the music video that are fleshed out in Just Dance 2022. The music is catchy, the choreography is top-notch, and it is colorful to boot.
9 Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels
“Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” by Todrick Hall is like that classic wedding dance tradition, “Cha Cha Slide” by DJ Casper. “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” similarly calls out dance moves for players to perform, including dropping to the floor, flossing, popping, and so on.
It’s not the most robust workout players will have in the game, but “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” certainly is an energetic song, thanks to Todrick Hall’s performance. He really sells the vibe. It’s another dance that is perhaps more perfect for a party situation than a solo one.
8 Pop/Stars
“Pop/Stars” by K/DA, which also features Madison Beer, (G)I-DLE, and Jaira Burns, is one of the trickiest songs to master in Just Dance 2022. The level is extreme and that’s because a lot of the choreography is not repeated.

That’s great for a workout because it should keep players on their toes. This is a fun track to sweat out to alone or with a group of four as one of Just Dance 2022’s highlight quartets. Just be prepared to take a break after.
7 My Way
“My Way” by Domino Saints is another quartet. It also requires an online connection. The only song not on this list of the four exclusives is “Buttons” by The Pussycat Dolls. It’s a good song on its own, but not one of the best routines in Just Dance 2022.
“My Way” is not as hard to learn as “Pop/Stars.” It shouldn’t take more than a few tries to fully dominate this song on the dance floor.
6 Montero (Call Me By Your Name)
When Lil Nas X first came out with “Old Town Road” the consensus was that he was simply a one-hit wonder that went viral in the age of the internet. Years later, the talented and eccentric musician continues to release music that simply gets people moving and puts them in an energetic mood.
“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” by Lil Nas X starts slow and builds into a fast-paced song that gets people moving thanks to Lil Nas X’s rhythmic pace and the beat that’s infused with the sound of clapping. It also happens to be the rare case in which a song becomes more infectious the longer it’s on, which makes it stand out as one of the best Just Dance songs in this year’s iteration.
5 Kiss Me More
As good of a song as “Kiss Me More” by Dual Lipa featuring SZA is, it’s not exactly the most family-friendly song, so those looking to break it out in Just Dance 2022 will need to understand the setting and surroundings. Doja Cat and SZA have a natural talent for creating upbeat songs that feel like summer vibes in the form of music.
“Kiss Me More” has easy-to-sing lyrics, a rather simplistic and catchy beat, and enough built-in changeup that it keeps up the need to move and have fun with friends while dancing. Doja Cat fans will argue over where it sits in her catalog, but it is easily one of the best Just Dance songs in Just Dance 2022.
4 Break My Heart
Part of why Dua Lipa burst onto the scene and has remained a key musical artist in the pop genre is due to the catchiness of the songs she releases. Nothing quite hits like a good breakup or new romance song, and “Break My Heart” by Dua Lipa fills both of these vibes masterfully.
The pace of the song makes shoulders bounce and slowly builds in a way where friends will start singing together as a celebratory anthem of sorts. Add in a layer of dancing to it, and it’s hard to deny “Break My Heart” as one of the best Just Dance songs from Dua Lipa or anyone else.
3 Good 4 U
“Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo continues the young songstress’ trajectory into stardom. Her debut album, Sour, hit in 2021, and she now has the honor of making it into a Just Dance title. The song has a chaotic energy to it and is performed around a similar theme to the actual music video.
There are slow parts to “Good 4 U,” but the chorus will have players jumping up and down to keep up with this post-breakup ballad. The only downside is that it requires an online connection even though it’s not part of the Just Dance Unlimited service.
2 Mr. Blue Sky
“Mr. Blue Sky” by The Sunlight Shakers is one of the most unique songs in Just Dance 2022. It’s presented as a stop-motion cartoon starring the series’ signature panda accompanied by an assortment of other forested creatures. The song’s presentation is one of the best-looking in the game.
“Mr. Blue Sky” is kid-friendly without dumbing itself down to be extremely easy. While some people might be disappointed it isn’t the original version by Electric Light Orchestra, The Sunlight Shakers do a good job where it doesn’t sound out of place.
1 Levitating
“Levitating” by Dua Lipa is marked as an easy song in the game, as the moves are relatively simple to perform and remember. However, if players put their all into this song, it’ll be quite the workout.
The dance moves don’t borrow much from the official video of “Levitating,” but the alien motif does. There are a few versions of her video online, with this perhaps borrowing the most from the anime iteration. The most addicting thing about the song is singing along while busting out the moves.
Just Dance 2022was released on November 4, 2021, and is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
