Avicii's new single, "Wake Me Up" featuring Aloe Blacc, is already killing it worldwide on the charts. But there's no denying the difference between his latest single and say, "Levels."

"It all went pretty organic," says Avicii. "I didn't plan for it to be different or anything like that. I was already working on a track with Mike Einziger from Incubus. We kind of got this chord progression going and we came up with the whole melody for the vocal. But we didn't have anyone to sing it, we didn't have any lyrics or anything like that� so I called Aloe because I was working on another track with him."

As odd as the musical pairing of EDM and "country" may seem, this was actually somewhat planned out. "The country aspect of it I don't really feel, if anything I feel it's more like folk music. That was more what we were playing around with in the beginning � but when we first did it I wasn't even sure if I was going to use the guitar in the song. All of that came after because we all fell in love and got accustomed to the guitar and that vibe. It was really energetic, a Summer vibe throughout. So that's why we decided to keep that in it."
