The song that raises awareness about ADHD through Just Dance 2025 Edition

In an era in which the ADHD theme is increasingly current, video games give their contribution in the delicate process of raising awareness: Just Dance 2025 Edition, the latest edition of the Ubisoft dance series, has just added a choreography to raise awareness about subject.

Just Dance 2025 Edition introduces Bang Bang! (My Neurodivergent Anthem) —

The map comes to life to the tune of the song “Bang Bang! (My Neurodivergent Anthem)” by Galantis. The idea for the song comes from Christian Karlson, a member of the musical duo, who said he had learned to live with this dysfunction and wanted to describe it through his art. “This Just Dance map is a perfect way to challenge stereotypes and bring to the forefront what Just Dance has always done: celebrate everyone in all their uniqueness, inviting us to connect with each other through dance!”, commented Pierre Escaich, Neurodiversity Talent Program Director at Ubisoft, who led the videogame creation.

“Video games are a powerful tool” —

An opinion confirmed by Dr. Martina Migliore, expert in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy, with long experience in the training and treatment of ADHD, and Director of Training and Development of Serenis, digital platform for mental well-being and authorized medical center. “Video games can be a powerful tool to raise awareness and create empathy towards those who live with problems such as ADHD every day. Products like Just Dance 2025 Edition, thanks to a choreography designed to illustrate the different stages of ADHD, demonstrate how entertainment can also educate and promote inclusiveness. These games enhance the unique abilities of people with ADHD, promoting awareness and social acceptance, as well as encouraging the learning of strategies to effectively deal with daily symptoms.”

What is ADHD? —

The term ADHD refers to the developmental disorder of self-control caused by attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, which includes difficulties with attention and concentration, impulse control and activity level. These problems essentially derive from the inability to regulate one’s behavior according to the passage of time, the objectives to be achieved and the demands of the environment. Especially in developmental age, it makes adapting to the environment and managing relationships very complex. ADHD occurs more frequently during childhood and developmental stages. In the United States, for example, 11% of children aged 3 to 17 suffer from ADHD (source: cdc.gov) and often continue to have symptoms into adulthood*.
