The routine starts in The Palace of Sky and Sea. There are many columns and spiral stairs on both sides. Everything is in light shade of pink. The platform in the middle, where the coach stands, is surrounded by water. It later changes. There is now more water and there is a large, light pink seashell in the middle. Many bubbles are floating. There are also light pink clouds in the back, just above the water. During the chorus, the background changes. There are pink clouds, two hands on the sides and a sculpture behind the coach with a mirror in the middle. There is also a diamond whale swimming behind it. During Nicki’s verse, the background changes to a cave with purple floor, filled with pink crystals in various sizes. There are some light points flashing to the beat. It later changes again to the second background, then to the first one, chorus again, and at the routine ends up in the palace.
