Six years later, however, and the song is back in the charts – albeit in a very different form. Despite being named the best song of 2010 by the likes of The Guardian and appearing in countless year-end round-ups, the song’s commercial response was comparatively lukewarm – it reached just #8 in the UK, and didn’t even chart on the USA’s Billboard Hot 100. There was “Be Mine”, a tale of unrequited love “With Every Heartbeat”, an exploration of pain experienced in relationships and of course “Dancing On My Own”, a heartbreaking depiction of seeing an ex with a new lover. The Swedish pop singer’s lyrics are melancholic, bittersweet, yet never saccharine. Few musicians are able to sonically narrate the trajectory of love as skillfully as Robyn.
