The song has captivated Philadelphia as the Phillies make another deep postseason run and it achieved a massive milestone on Wednesday.

"A HUGE thank you has to go to @Phillies also for making this song their anthem two years running. It's an honour boys and I'm incredibly grateful to the players, the club and most importantly the fans," Scott wrote on X.
The song almost didn't come back for the 2023 season because it was a "second-place song."

But, just like the 2022 season, the Phillies struggled early on. They were 25-32 in early June and needed a spark.
Backup Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs told CBS Philadelphia's Pat Gallen on the Gallen of Questions Podcast the team brought it back in June against the Washington Nationals and the rest is history. The Phillies are red hot and two wins away from a second straight World Series appearance.
Scott said he would perform for the Phillies if they win the World Series. Six more wins, Topper.
