Dancing on My Own fue escrita por Robyn y Patrik Berger, y es una pista del álbum Body Talk Pt. 1 de Robyn, lanzado en 2010. La canción habla sobre la experiencia de estar en un club nocturno y ver a un ser querido con otra persona, reflejando el dolor y el aislamiento que acompañan ver a alguien que amas seguir adelante.
Somebody said you got a new friend Does she love you better than I can? There's a big black sky over my town I know where you're at, I bet she's around
yeah, I know it's stupid I just gotta see it for myself
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh.. I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh.. I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooohh.. I keep dancing on my own
I'm just gonna dance all night I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Stilettos and broken bottles, I'm spinnin' around in circles
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh.. I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh.. I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooohh.. I keep dancing on my own

so far away but still so near (the lights go on, the music dies) but you don't see me standing here (I just came to say goodbye)
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh.. I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooohh.. I keep dancing on my own I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh no I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooohh.. I keep dancing on my own
