What is Dansby Swanson's walk-up song?
Dansby Swanson's walk-up song is "Shabang" by Drake, last confirmed in 2026 with the Chicago Cubs. Hear the 30-second preview below, plus the earlier walk-up we have on record. Swanson plays shortstop and wears #7. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-08-14).
Wrigley Field walkup music is constrained by the stadium's quirky old PA system — songs with cleaner mixes work much better than bass-heavy tracks. For more on the Cubs' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Chicago Cubs walkup page.

Use Dansby Swanson's walkup style for your team
Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Swanson is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid confidence at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.
