SYTYCD Season 9: Dallas and New York Auditions Music (Premiere!)
Hello all! Since I won’t be able to see tonight’s show live… I would really appreciate your help in finding the music from tonight’s So You Think You Can Dance Season 9 premiere. As you know, we’ve been listing all of the SYTYCD music ever since SYTYCD season 2. We hope to do the same this season.
In the comments below please list any and all songs that you happen to pick up, and any songs that you’d like me to specifically find and within twenty-four hours from the show I’ll update this post with the songs that I was able to catch. Please attempt to be as specific as possible as to where the music came from during the episode so I would know not to look for it and move on to the next piece of music.
The more songs that you guys are able to find, the more time I will have in finding the songs that you are unable to find.
Thank you so much for your help!
- Marianya
UPDATE: We just got word that Episode 1 of So You Think You Can Dance will feature “BROTHER BROTHER” 
the single released last season on SYTYCD. We’ll have to see who dances to it or when it’s used on the show.
UPDATE 2: Thanks to all of the readers that have helped with this list. As Marianya stated, she and hopefully Emilie will help with more of the music and making the list much nicer tomorrow.
UPDATE 3: Since fox.com does not allow viewing of last night episode until June 1st, please bear with me as I try to find the music that is missing from the list below. I have rearranged the music in the order that I know of from what I was able to piece together from various videos I’ve found online.

I want to find one song where the camera is showing the dancers on the street, and getting ready to dance and that stuff. Not particularly someone’s dance song. Can anyone give me the songs that they may know?
The Guy from Francisco’s story has a song that i absolutely love but dont know the name of. Shazam cant identify it over his talking. Please help! He was the one who was on the day after the Exorcists (first one).
Last Dallas audition – Jerrel, I believe. He was dancing to what I think might be a Seal song. Anyone know the title?
Hey does anyone know the last song that played? The one where the guy danced,, he was dancing for his mother who was sitting in Nigel’s chair.. The song was amazing but I couldn’t seem to figure out the name
help? Please?
The male Australian ballet dancer from San Francisco who auditioned in Dallas – the background music that was playing during his personality clip – I love that song but Shazam couldn’t identify it – if anyone knows what it is, please let me know
My request may be the same as Joshua’s above, comment #3
Does anyone know the name of the song that Stepheon Stewart danced to? That song was so sick.
Chelsea I tried to find it too by using the lyrics and couldn’t find anything either!
That last song rings up this from a lyrics search on google: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dustinlynch/waybackwhen.html
the song during the general audience outside view was “dub step” at one point; not sure who the arists is though. i also really want to know who performed the song the very last dallas audition guy danced to. calvin harris-”so close” was of course one of the songs, can’t remember the dancer that danced to it. one was a drake song- the guy whose mother attempted sucide dance to it. thats all i can remember. i really hope someone can name that one song i mentioned at the beginning though!
Joshua, that’s not the same song
joshua #9. are you sure thats the same song? its missing the lyric about drinking more red wine than jesus.
Maybe its Three brand new minutes of Skylar

A really big THANK YOU to everyone who helped identify the music. I think I’ve captured all the music that people were able to identify and put it into the post above. If I’ve got anything wrong let me know. I also added the iTunes links for easy downloading.
The good news is that tomorrow Marianya and possibly Emilie will be able to clean up the list and hopefully identify any songs that still remain. They’re masters as it, so if you have any questions or know of any songs already keep them coming. Let’s help each other out.
Now if only our contact at Fox would just send us the music list;-) Until then, we’ll keep doing what we can to help people.
Thanks again everyone! Here’s to a great season.
Does anyone know the name of the song at the very beginning of the show after the opening credits… It went something like “I want my New York” that was the beginning of the song. A club song.
@ aj …i think soundhound just picked it up for me…i was looking for it too….
Icarus
by maedon
@ Brodie mack… It sounds like the music but there’s not words in the Icarus song by Madeon
I’ve just got to get that song haha…
anyone have daniel baker’s song?
Thanks to all of you for your hard work in finding out the name of the songs from SYTYCD. I always discover new artists from that show.
I am still looking for the background music from Daniel Baker’s personality clip. He was the ballet dancer from SF that auditioned in Dallas. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know – Thanks
To @Alicia and everyone else looking for the song that was in the background during Daniel Baker’s interview, it is: “Gymnopédie No. 1″ by French classical composer Erik Satie
Keep coming back to this page as we attempt to find more of the songs that you’re looking for.
Thank you so much Amanda!
anyone know the song the gut who called himself “the excorist” danced to ?? Been looking for it !!
Hi again…still looking for the song from the last dancer in NY…anyhelp thanks
Does anyone know of the specific version or remix of Gymnopedie No. 1 that is used? It has a drum track to it. Have searched everywhere with no luck. Help!
I posted the songs I was able to get here earlier: http://www.tunefind.com/show/so-you-think-you-can-dance/season-9/11541
I was able to get most of them, but still missing a couple more; such as the dubstep song that played before & after Von’s audition.
What was the song that had the word “Unstoppable” in it?!! It was a pop kind of song!! I really liked it but I can’t find it anywhere!!
Looking for the song that played mostly before Von Kipper’s dance audition, and a small amount afterwards. It said Unstoppable over and over again without any other lyrics. Really NEED this song!!!!
the song played when jarelle receives his ticket and dancers passing through the choreography is Nick Nolan- Free for All
you can hear it here: http://www.nicknolan.com/audio/page3/
The song playing during Shafeek’s backstory on flipping sounded like Conquistador by Procul Harum.
The last song played at the end of the episode was the theme to “America’s Next Top Model”
A different rendition but definitely the same song.
Very bizarre…
Still no luck with the “Unstoppable” song???
Please help . . really need the song . .
Love you SYTYCD Fans
(forgive me for the comment on the Debbie Allen Discussion – messed up with the windows)
Unstoppable song is by Santigold! There are a lot of different mixes on YouTube, but that’s the original. Some of the ones with Drake spell her name Santogold and I’m not sure which one is right. Glad I found it =)
What’s the song for Johnny Waacks Gibson’s audition?
Hi, what is the song that came immediately after “where them girls at”? It was when we first saw sam shreffler, right before he auditioned, it sounded like a dubstep song. Thank you!
