Ode to the Mets
"Ode to the Mets" is a song by American rock band the Strokes. It is the closing track on their sixth studio album, The New Abnormal (2020). It was written by lead singer Julian Casablancas following the New York Mets' loss in the 2016 National League Wild Card Game at Citi Field. The title was originally a joke, but drummer Fabrizio Moretti found it a fitting metaphor for the lyrical themes, and convinced Casablancas to keep it. The Strokes first performed the song live at their New Year's Eve 2019 concert at the Barclays Center. Multiple critics regarded "Ode to the Mets" as one of the highlights from The New Abnormal. It reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart. A music video, directed by Warren Fu, was released on July 24, 2020, coinciding with that year's delayed Opening Day for the Mets.
