Prior to preparing for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo (delayed by the pandemic until the summer of 2021), Simone Biles hadn't competed since October 2019. Looking for something extra special for her routine, she revealed on her Facebook Watch series "What Can't I Do," she turned to dancer Sasha Barber to choreograph her routine. Barber, as viewers of "Dancing With the Stars" will recall, was Biles' dance partner when she competed in the show in 2017, and the two remained close. 

"Usually, I have a different choreographer, but this year I felt like we needed to be a little bit different, spice it up," Biles explained, via Entertainment Tonight. "Whenever I worked with Sasha on 'Dancing with the Stars', we always said, 'Oh my gosh, if we could do a floor routine, how cool would that be?'"

Farber admitted he was "really excited" to help Biles create a routine designed to showcase the gymnast's "sassy" side. Meanwhile, Biles said that she's "way more involved" in creating this routine than she'd been with her earlier routines.
