He started mixing music at the age of 16, posting remixes of electronic music. Levels was his debut single, receiving a lot of fame and positive reviews.
Avicii collaborated with many international artists, like Nicky Romero or David Guetta.
Unfortunately, he had some mental issues and he took his own life in April 2018, in Muscat, Oman.

The song topped the charts once released, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in many countries, for example, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, or the UK.
An interesting fact about the song is that Avicii stated that he made the song so that he could incorporate a vocal sample from the song Something’s Got a Hold on Me by Etta James, released in 1962.
The hit song has also a music video, directed by Petro Papahadjopoulos, and refers to the supposed symbolism behind the song, about a businessman who starts dancing in his office in front of his colleagues.
After being sent to a hospital, there, all the workers slowly start dancing like him, against their own free will.
