This blend of folk-influenced melodies and electronic dance music marked a departure from Avicii's previous work, initially surprising some within the EDM community. The song's success stemmed from its infectious rhythm and heartfelt lyrics penned by Aloe Blacc, capturing a universal longing for hope and healing. The collaboration with Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger added a layer of organic instrumentation, further enhancing the song's emotional depth and broad appeal, resonating deeply with listeners who found solace and comfort in its message.
