You will live on forever with your music…The Making of “Wake Me Up” by Avicii

”It’s so far away from anything I’ve ever done before musically, so it’s obviously a weight off my shoulders that everything went the way it did” — Tim ’Avicii’ Bergling.

June 17th marks one decade since the release of Wake Me Up – a song that came to change EDM music forever. As a key part of the album True, Wake Me Up was one of the songs where Avicii showed the world his ability to blend different genres — transcending the boundaries of ages, music preferences, and cultures worldwide.

Every song begins with a note. This is the story behind Wake Me Up by Avicii, Aloe Blacc, and Mike Einziger. In loving memory of Tim Bergling (1989-2018).
