With just 2 more wins needed for the Philadelphia Phillies to advance from the NLCS to the World Series, fans continue blasting their 2022 World Series anthem, singer Calum Scott and DJ/producer Tiēsto's reboot of Robyn's classic 'Dancing On My Own' even louder.

LISTEN NOW: Calum Scott on the Phillies, 'Dancing On My Own' and Philadelphia having a 'special place' in his heart

Calum sat down with Bennett of The NEW 96.5 to share how it feels to have 'Dancing On My Own' continue to takeover the airwaves of Philadelphia and be the Phillies anthem. This time last year, Scott sat down with Bennett to share his excitement that the team's playoff anthem was such a thrill, and not much has changed.

"Honestly bro, I said to you last time, and I have the same sentiment this time, you have no idea the power of a song as soon as you release it...and obviously this is a Robyn song, I take absolutely no credit on the song writing - but the fact that this version [...] has just resonated with not only the team, but the fanbase, and outside of that in the streets of Philly [...] the idea of me singing this to people just gives me shivers."

In the interview, Bennett asks Calum something we've all been wondering, 'What do we have to do to take you and bring you to Philadelphia?'

"If I get the like, official invite from the team, if the MLB and everybody is like, 'We want you here,' this is the time,' I am gonna be a nervous wreck walking through the Philly airport [...] I can almost now feel the excitement, and the energy. For a whole city to be singing a song that I've been a part of and hear it resonate down the street, it's probably going to be a first in my career where it's blown up to this amount."

To build on this excitement, Calum also thinks it would be cool to have Robyn and Tiesto. "Imagine me and Robyn walk out in Philly, and Tiesto! Manifest..."

"I just feel so welcomed, and so warmly received by the people of Philadelphia - people that were already fans, new fans, people who don't care and just love the song [...] I want Philly to know that it has a very special place in my heart [...] to be a part of this again is such an honor, and such a privilege."
