The Philadelphia Phillies are taking another step into the MLB playoffs, and British singer/songwriter Calum Scott is riding the wave alongside them.
Scott’s remix with Tiesto of Robyn’s hit single, “Dancing On My Own,” recently reached 1 billion streams on Spotify — and its adoption by the Phillies as their playoff theme song over the past two years likely played a significant role.
On Wednesday, Scott posted a video to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, thanking his listeners for their support and adding a follow-up message with a thank you to the Phillies and their fans.
“A huge thank you must also go to the @Phillies for making this song their anthem two years in a row,” Scott posted. “It’s an honor boys and I’m incredibly grateful to the players, the club and especially the fans.”
The Phillies had planned to retire “Dancing On My Own” after their World Series run last year, but a midseason downturn forced them to reconsider as they looked to get back on track .

That’s not to say the song spurred their turnaround, but the Phillies played much better down the stretch to secure the top wild card spot in the National League playoffs.
They continued to dance through the first two rounds of the playoffs, and before Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, they find themselves to back-to-back World Series appearances.
