“I met with a guy called Patrick Berger who is the other songwriter on that record, and I said, ‘I’m glad that you love this new life that’s been breathed into it, but does Robyn like it?'” he told us. So when we grabbed Calum on set of his first ever Gay Times cover shoot last month, we had to find out if he’d finally heard from the Swedish popstar yet. Of course, we can’t imagine she complained about the royalty cheque she received, but having validation from an artist whose song you’ve covered would give you peace of mind. He’d reached out on Twitter and he was asked in every interview what she thought of the track, but for more than a year he had no idea if she was happy with it or not. On an international scale, it’s been certified platinum in the US, it was a No.2 hit in Australia, and made him a household name across mainland Europe.īut while his version of the song gained him millions of fans, and even some famous ones in the shape of Ed Sheeran and Nile Rodgers, Calum didn’t hear from the lady who essentially helped launch his pop career: Robyn. It took another year before his emotional rendition started to gain steam, but once it did, it became a pop monster.Ĭalum’s version of Dancing On My Own has so far sold over 1.2 million copies in the UK, peaked at No.2 on the Official Top 40, and was even nominated for a BRIT Award.

When Calum Scott took to the Britain’s Got Talent stage back in 2015 to audition with a stripped-down version of Robyn’s Dancing On My Own, he had no idea what his version would go on to do.Įven immediately after his time on the ITV contest, there was no real inkling that the cover song would go on to be a hit.
