Avicii’s 'Wake Me Up' was released 7 years ago today. Here’s what he said about the song in 2013

last year."I don’t think even the sound people knew what they were doing. Everybody else at the festival had air cannons and pyro and half-naked girls dancing onstage. Then here comes Tim with drums, banjo, fiddle, guitar and three singers.”

When Blacc and the song's co-writer Mike Einzinger got offstage that night, they asked the artist born Tim Bergling if the performance had been bad. Bergling told them not to worry, because audiences would understand later. He was right."Wake Me Up" become not only a defining hit of the Avicii catalog, but a defining anthem of the EDM era, with its influences blurring the lines between dance, pop and country like no other song before it. The track peaked at No. 4 and finished at No. 13 on’s year-end Hot 100 songs in 2013."Wake Me Up" also held the record for most weeks at No.

"To have a dance record that could possibly impact the country market," follows Rodgers,"to me I was just thinking statistically, not only is this artistically bold, but if this connects, you're doing some next level dance music." Next level it was. Seven years after the release of"Wake Me Up" -- and just more than two years after Avicii's tragic suicide on April 20, 2018 -- the song remains a dance world classic. Watch the complete interview with Bergling and Rodgers below.
