You've probably not thought about Robyn for quite a few years.

Well the Swedish songstress is about to burst right back into your consciousness thanks to a cracker of a theory suggested by a fan of Robyn's work. The fan in question, Sam Natiale, has proposed that two of the singer's best-known hits are actually about the same event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcNo07Xp8aQ Robyn's first Grammy-nominated song, Dancing On My Own, is about the heartbreak felt by the singer as she watches her lover kissing a different woman on the dancefloor of a nightclub.
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 girl you're taking home, oh I keep dancing on my own I keep dancing on my own
Robyn's second Grammy-nominated song, Call Your Girlfriend, takes the form of some advice from a new lover. Having kissed a girl who is already in a relationship, the new paramour encourages the girl to let her partner know that she wants to see other people.
Call your girlfriend It's time you had the talk Give your reasons Say it's not her fault But you just met somebody new Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ImxY6hnfA So is it possible that both songs are about the same night but that one is written from the perspective of the betrayed girl and the other is a conversation between the new lovers? That's what this viral theory suggests. https://twitter.com/PubicDefender/status/879177790763020289 And to say it is blowing minds would be an understatement. https://twitter.com/bethanyrutter/status/879604064417443841 https://twitter.com/christinalizzo/status/879347058087473152 https://twitter.com/hellotonylee/status/879377891057954818
