Through the power of the hips and chest, the explosive power is maintained in the soft and smooth movements, and Tsai also incorporates the ribbon element of rhythmic gymnastics in the music video in order to pursue a different visual effect of the dance. Tsai said, "When I was out promoting, I watched TV and thought the ribbons in gymnastics were very pretty, so I told my manager I wanted to learn them and use them in my future dances. After the album was finished, we thought the ribbon would be a good fit for the song 'Dancing Diva'". Tsai also said, "Gymnastics is a sport that requires strength, and it's actually a bit scary, so I have to force myself to do different physical exercises, such as pulling my legs up to 180 degrees. I'm so tired that I can't breathe after every gymnastic session"
