"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 and cassette by prmd music and universal music group’s island records on 17 june 2013. "wake me up" was written by avicii, mike einziger, and aloe blacc. american soul singer aloe blacc provides vocals for the track and mike einziger of incubus provides acoustic guitar. avicii introduced "wake me up!" for the first time live on stage at the ultra music festival in miami. 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 josé pasillas on drums) reportedly confused and angered a section of the electronic dance festival community. subsequently, avicii achieved critical and commercial success with the release of the single worldwide.
