Why Can't You See Me? The True Story of Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own'

How many pop songs can you name that are universally
adored? There aren’t many, are there? 


I think I can name one though: “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn. In
case you’re unfamiliar with it, the 2010 banger was widely
acclaimed by critics but not so much by the public. In fact, the
only country it reached #1 in was Sweden - Robyn’s homeland. But
man, oh man, if you can name a song from this millennium that has
encapsulated pop music better than “Dancing On My Own,” well, I
wouldn’t believe you. It is as perfect as pop songs get. And yet,
the story behind it is just as good as the song.


It’s a multi-faceted narrative that would make a great movie one
day. A real underdog, comeback story about a young girl who
becomes world famous as a teenager, then chooses to give up
everything when she realizes she’s viewed as a commodity, only to
do it all over again on her own terms and become an archetype for
so many artists out there who value making art and having full
control over their careers.
