The show, he said in a separate interview, “lends itself to using music in a way that people interact with". Manish Raval, the show’s music supervisor, told The Guardian that the scene represented a perspective shift for the cast and crew: “That was when we realised, we’re working on something big here,” he said, noting that it became Girls’ "unofficial theme song" for them. The characters on Girls were far from being the most likeable, though the worst aspects of their personalities could (often painfully) be acutely relatable. Lena, playing the series’ twenty-something protagonist Hannah, is throwing pity party for herself, having just received some ego-shaking news - her college ex-boyfriend has come out as gay! Oh, 2012.
The song’s most notable TV moment arguably came in 2012, when it featured in the first season of Lena Dunham’s infamous comedy-drama series Girls.
However, the song found new life as something of a TV soundtrack staple: as well as its feature on Smash, you can hear those same thrumming synths and silvery vocals in Orange Is The New Black, Gossip Girl and Drag Race. So, I think connecting back to them is important."DOMO" managed to reach number three in the US, but peaked at number eight in the UK charts (a crime! Who let this happen!). And it's also a little bit of a message to my fans, that I've missed them. It's like they become more clear and you see them everywhere. I learned new things about myself."Īnd, she noted, there was a double meaning behind the title of her comeback single, saying in the film that "'Missing U' is a song about this trippy thing that happens when people disappear. "I felt like I really had to do some exploration to figure out what I wanted to write about again. " I haven't made an album in eight years, so I haven't seen my fans for a long time, either," Robyn continued, before explaining why she needed to stop making music for a while. "I've got really, really good people who love my music," the singer said in the film. Though she took a break from releasing music and performing for some time, Robyn has made her love for her fans a major part of her comeback, even releasing a short film along with "Missing U" that showed her listening to voicemails from her fans and making a surprise appearance at a Robyn-themed dance party. After teasing the album's title track at the end of an episode of Girls in March 2017, the singer released her first new track in almost a decade when she dropped the dance breakup anthem, "Missing U" in August. The fans' excitement is the result of more than just not wanting that post-concert feeling to fade Robyn released Honey, her first album in eight years back in October, after all but disappearing from the spotlight in the wake of the massive success of Body Talk. "Someone just posted this video and I can’t believe the love in this subway station," Robyn wrote, alongside a video of the causal after-concert party. Shortly after the video clips went viral, the singer herself responded to the impromptu dance party on Instagram, where she wrote that she was "overwhelmed" by the love and joy that was shown in the clip. After the show, several Twitter users began posting videos of the crowd of fans waiting on the subway platform at Penn Station, belting out "Dancing On My Own" and dancing along to the fan-favorite track.
The Swedish EDM artist performed a sold-out show on Friday as part of her highly-anticipated Honey tour, and even though fans got to sing and dance along to their favorite songs during the concert, they didn't seem to have enough of Robyn. Robyn responded to the viral clip of fans singing her song on a subway platform after her show at Madison Square Garden, and it's guaranteed to make anyone who wasn't lucky enough to be there feel plenty of FOMO. Even after Robyn's concert in New York ended on March 8, the party seemed to be just beginning.
