Mets fans at Citi Field have become accustomed to singing along with The Temptations' "My Girl" whenever Francisco Lindor comes to the plate, but the crowd was treated to a different walk-up song on Friday night.

In his second at-bat, Lindor came up to a brand new song: Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye's "Aint' No Mountain High Enough."

SNY's Steve Gelbs reported on Lindor's change just before his second at-bat during the second inning, saying that the Mets' shortstop -- who is often to change things up -- felt antsy about his walk-up song this season after debuting "My Girl" last year, and was close to making "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" his full time theme, but reconsidered.

"[Lindor] understood that it would be too much to change his walk-up music entirely, so he'll be alternating between 'My Girl' and 'Ain't' No Mountain High Enough,'" Gelbs said.

Lindor led off Friday's game, walking up to "My Girl," with a solo homer and struck out in his second at-bat, walking up to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." Lindor did single the next time he came up with his new alternate song, so not all is lost.

The NL MVP runner-up was asked after the game why he decided to add this new song.

"The vibes. The vibes that I’m in right now," he said. "I think it’s a fantastic song. Hope the fans can vibe with it too. Couple of days ago, I heard the song and I was like, ‘man, this is it.’ I didn’t fully change it because I got pushback from some people here. I’m a people pleaser, so I pleased the ones that pushed back on me. 

"That song is a banger. I’m sure fans are going to vibe to it too, hopefully."

Lindor said he heard fans asking him on the on-deck circle where "My Girl" was, but Lindor is happy with his decision.

"It’s a great song. We’ll see if it catches on," he said. "If it doesn’t catch on, they’re still going to get ‘My Girl.’"
