song is gas
While Mets fans online have rallied around the Grimace memes, this song has become the rallying cry within the Mets clubhouse since Iglesias was called up on May 31st. Iglesias as been using it as his walk-up song, the team plays it in the clubhouse after every win, and they’ve stared playing it at Citi Field whenever a Mets hits a home run.
[The Athletic](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5579159/2024/06/21/mets-jose-iglesias-song-omg/) did a piece on it recently, where Mets players voiced their support:
>“We’re singing it, we’re humming it all the time,” said 38-year-old reliever Adam Ottavino, who has played with other music-producing teammates in the past but never experienced something catch on quite like Iglesias’ song. “This one has definitely hit the most in the clubhouse.”
>Iglesias said veteran slugger J.D. Martinez urged him to play “OMG” for the team shortly after his call-up. Martinez said he told Iglesias, “Bro, this is a good song. We gotta play this. We gotta ride this out. We gotta use it.” The song became a hit. The ritual followed.
>Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso recently told Iglesias, “Hey, we play it because we love it. We don’t just play it because you wrote it. No. We play it because it’s awesome.”
The song was originally supposed to be out July 5th, but was moved up to July 3rd, and then was then moved up again to today. [Iglesias performed the song last night, with many of his teammates joining him.](https://x.com/SNY_Mets/status/1806517775382266196)
Step aside Yoan Moncada, there’s another Latin pop star infielder

This isn’t a genre of music I’m interested in. I barely speak any Spanish. I only listened to this because he’s a Met and there’s been buzz around this song since spring training.
It’s far better than I expected it to be. He has to be thrilled with the reception and the launch last night with the boys.
In the span of one month we went from a string of bullpen collapses culminating in a reliever throwing his glove into the stands to being the most fun team in the league with immaculate vibes. And now we have a banger theme song to go with it. I don’t know how long this is gonna last but I’m loving every second of it
It’s a bop
