rihsus Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) “Dancing On My Own” is about dancing alone in the club while watching your ex—who’s with another woman. When writing the song, Robyn took inspiration from classic sad-and-lonely disco anthems by Ultravox, Sylvester, and Donna Summer. Robyn told Pop Justice: "I’m fascinated by club culture at the moment…Clubs are like the new church for people—it’s where you go to feel a part of something bigger than yourself. People have so many expectations when they go out, so many wishes about what their night is going to be: if they’re going to meet that person, have a fun time with their friends, have a good high, hear good music. People get drunk and turn into themselves in a way, and they go to experience some kind of emotion. But it’s not always about fun. There’s a destructive side to it. But I’m more into the empowerment of going out, because it’s always been the place where I could be myself and get inspired. Even if I’m sad, dancing is a way to let stuff out." “Dancing On My Own” was nominated for the Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2011, but Rihanna's 'Only Girl (In the World)' got the win.
