“This song didn’t make my debut album because I simply wasn’t ready at that time to give it to the world. What I love about this song is that it isn’t just limited to a story of sexual identity, but about the relationship between parent and child and acceptance as a whole.” It’s a song born from loneliness, acceptance and the heart-breaking but liberating tale of my coming out experience. Speaking about the track, Calum said: “No Matter What” is without question the most personal song I have ever written and the one I am most proud of. The heartwarming piano melody, the powerful use of strings from the second verse onwards, and Calum’s striking vocals add to the pure emotion of the song, creating a truly tear-jerking offering. Composed with Patrik Berger, there is a sadness.
The 36-year-old American Idol alum performed the cover during. Inspired, in part, by Robyn’s love of sad, gay Disco anthems (such as Ultravox’s Dancing with Tears in My Eyes ), Robyn was clearly coming into her own and finding her voice. Kelly Clarkson is putting her own spin on Dancing On My Own, originally sung by Robyn and later reinterpreted by Calum Scott. Robyn is, of course, no stranger to this territory. Dancing on My Own is that mix of spurned anger and recklessness a strange sense of hope in confinement and heartache. That was years before Calum Scott sang it for his audition on the reality show, Britain’s. Dancing On My Own is the irresistible sound of heartbreak on the dancefloor, desolate solitude in a room of euphoric revellers. Her concert had a great energy and roaring atmosphere, with everyone dancing their arses off and signing their hearts out. It’s clear that he didn’t have the easiest of journeys growing up, however, as he got older he found the strength to hold his head high. The Swedish star, Robyn, first wrote and performed the hit, Dancing on My Own, in April 2010. Whilst he didn’t receive the support he needed from his friends, his turned to his mother, and later his father, who reminded him that they love him “no matter what”, and that they want him to always be happy and true to himself.Ĭalum’s lyrics throughout the track are raw and extremely personal. ‘No Matter What’ is a stunning piano ballad which tells the tale of Calum coming out to his parents. Singer-songwriter Calum Scott is back with his most honest single yet, ‘No Matter What’, taken from the forthcoming special edition of his debut album Only Human.
