Mets’ Anthem “OMG” to Get a Fresh Remix Featuring Pitbull
New York Mets infielder Jose Iglesias, affectionately known as Candelita, is set to have his hit song, “OMG,” turned into an official Mets anthem. The song, released on June 28, has gained popularity after Iglesias performed it on the field following a win.
A Global Collaboration
The anthem will now feature a special remix, including Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull, and Colombian singer Silvestre Dangond. Armando Christian Pérez, known professionally as Pitbull, is a music legend with numerous chart-topping hits and a plethora of songs beloved worldwide.
The Birth of a Catchphrase
The OMG phenomenon started when Iglesias first performed the song on the field, turning it into a staple anthem for the Mets. Now, with the remix scheduled for release on October 11, the team has become synonymous with the term.
The Brain Behind the Signature Sign
Jaymaccustoms, a dedicated Mets fan and artist Jerome McCroy, created a sign featuring the letters “OMG” that is now an iconic part of the Mets’ home-run celebration tradition. McCroy shared his thoughts on the remix: “My first thought was that of shock. It was definitely something I needed to keep close to the vest. But I think it’s going to be really dope, and when everyone hears it, they’re going to love it.”
Commercial Success
The song has achieved immense commercial success, reaching number one on the iTunes Latin Charts the week of its release and topping the Billboard Latin Digital Song Sales chart.
What’s Next for “OMG”?
With the remix set for release, fans can anticipate a wider audience and expanded popularity for the song.
