When I was with Mike Einziger from Incubus, we came up with the chord progression and the melody for 'Wake Me Up!' but no real lyrics. At the same time I was tipped off about doing another track with Aloe Blacc, and I started working on that track.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Avicii, who had previously labelled 'Wake Me Up!' as 'a fun experiment' during an exclusive chat with MTV UK, said: 'I had a demo with Mac Davis singing, the guy who wrote some songs that were covered by Elvis Presley, but I needed another singer to do the parts.

The Blacc single also charted in its own right in various charts. It was also released as a promotional stand-alone single on Interscope Records, made available online for downloads via iTunes. Due to the success of the song, Blacc later released an acoustic version of 'Wake Me Up' in his solo EP Wake Me Up. The song has been described as a 'summer anthem' by Variance Magazine and, throughout the 2013 festival season, Avicii included it as part of the opening or closing sequence of his sets at EDC Las Vegas, EDC London, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Electric Zoo and the iTunes Festival. 'Wake Me Up' peaked at number one in much of Europe and charted well in various countries.

It is the only song to crack the Billboard Decade-End without making the top 3 during any week. 13 in the 100-strong list from the official UK Singles Chart. Avicii's 'Wake Me Up' has been named as the highest charting dance track of the decade (2010-2019), sitting at No. Subsequently, Avicii achieved critical and commercial success with the release of the single worldwide.

The experimental rendering (it was accompanied by a live band with instruments and vocalists, including Blacc, Einziger and Incubus members Ben Kenney on bass and JosГ© Pasillas on drums) reportedly confused and angered a section of the electronic dance festival community. Avicii introduced 'Wake Me Up!' for the first time live on stage at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Peter Dyer also provides keyboard on the song. Aloe Blacc also provides vocals for the track and Mike Einziger of Incubus provides acoustic guitar. 'Wake Me Up' was written by Avicii, Mike Einziger, and American soul singer Aloe Blacc. ' Wake Me Up' is a song by Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii, released as the lead single from his debut studio album True, released on CD by PRMD Music and Island Records on 17 June 2013.
