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 on 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.

Peter Dyer also provides keyboard on the song. 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. Be safe, and always consult a doctor if you have any questions or concerns."
