A música Dancing on My Own foi escrita por Robyn e Patrik Berger, e é uma faixa do álbum Body Talk Pt. 1 de Robyn, lançado em 2010. A música fala sobre a experiência de estar em uma boate e ver a pessoa amada com outra pessoa, refletindo a dor e o isolamento que acompanham ver alguém que se ama seguir em frente.
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
