New York Mets shortstop Jose Iglesias is set to drop his new single “OMG” on Friday.
To promote the song, Iglesias hosted an event at Citi Field on Thursday, where he was seen vibing to his tune.
The event quickly went viral as Iglesias was joined by his Mets teammates, creating an unforgettable moment.
Players like Pete Alonso, Luis Severino, Francisco Alvarez, Edwin Diaz, Jose Quintana, DJ Stewart, Jeff McNeil, Francisco Lindor, Tyrone Taylor, Mark Vientos, Sean Manaea, David Peterson, Brandon Nimmo, J.D. Martinez, Kodai Senga, Reed Garrett, and Jake Diekman all joined in, showing off their dance moves in support of Iglesias’ new single.
The song, which has not yet been released, has already gathered significant traction and has become an anthem for the Mets at Citi Field. After each home win, the players crank up the speakers to their maximum volume, blasting “OMG” during postgame celebrations.
“We’re singing it. We’re humming it all the time,” said 38-year-old reliever Adam Ottavino via The Athletic. “This one has definitely hit the most in the clubhouse.”

Interestingly, the positive energy from the song seems to have translated onto the field.
After a challenging start to the season, the Mets have rebounded spectacularly, breaking the .500 mark and achieving a 15-6 record in June, making them the best team in the majors during that month.
In an interview with SNY’s Steve Gelbs, Jose Iglesias shared his excitement about the song and how it has lifted spirits within the clubhouse. “This song is all about energy, all about winning,” Iglesias said. “The guys loved it, and I’m humble to make this song. The fans are already clicking with it, and we’re on a roll, and everything is right where it needs to be. And oh my God, I’m so happy.”
Iglesias elaborated on the inspiration behind “OMG,” explaining that it is about living in the moment and appreciating what you have. “I realized how time flies and how important it is to live in the present and enjoy what you have and maximize the possibility of enjoyment, and that’s what the song is about,” he added. “It’s about just being here, we’re blessed, and thank you, God.”
The infectious enthusiasm surrounding “OMG” has not only unified the team but also brought joy to fans, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere at Citi Field. As Iglesias prepares to release his single, the Mets and their supporters are already embracing the song as a symbol of their renewed energy and success.
