We regret to inform you that Yoenis Cespedes is no longer using 'Circle of Life' as his walk-up song
We don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but we must let you know
According to MLB.com's Joe Trezza, Cespedes picked a new anthem after experimenting with other music, and chose a new song to use on Saturday night as the Mets took on the Rockies.
Yoenis Cespedes & his Lion King walk up music are officially over. After experimenting w/other songs, Cespedes is picking a new one tonight.

If you're curious what song La Potencia chose as his newest jam, that would be Quiéreme by Jacob Forever.
The circle of life: In case you missed it, Yoenis Cespedes' new walk-up song is "Quiereme" by Cuban singer Jacob Forever.

Choosing a walk-up song must be hard, and while we respect Cespedes' wishes, we will still miss the iconic song as he approaches the plate. And so will this fan.
