It’s about watching everything happen from a distance, on the dancefloor maybe scrolling through Instagram (which did not exist when Robyn wrote the song) and seeing your ex cuddling up to someone new, creating a life where your old one was supposed to be. It’s about doing something by yourself that was once communal. It’s a pop anthem in the classical vein, a universal scream into the void.

Ten years have gone by since “Dancing On My Own” came out, and it feels just as potent today as it did when it was released. Yes, Robyn released the best song of the decade all the way back in 2010. Dig into our list of the 200 best songs of the 2010s below and, as always, head down to the comments to share your own. But we’ve selected tracks that we feel are representative of the decade as a whole, songs that have stayed with us throughout these last 10 years and songs that we think will stick with us long after the decade is over. It’s been a long 10 years, and to pretend that only 200 songs could capture every facet of the music that was released during the decade would be foolish. But the best way a song exists is still with the memories you make along with it: riding around in your car or heading out to a party with friends or sitting in your room alone, letting the music become part of the fabric of your life. As culture continues to flatten out, songs can become iconic and inescapable overnight it’s also become more difficult to get heard amidst all the noise. For better and worse, the song (and the single) have become the norm for the general public’s music consumption.

Now, at the end of it, a song is no longer even a file - it’s ephemera, on every streaming service and available to hear in myriad ways.

When this decade began, MP3s still reigned supreme.
