Don't You Worry Child

"Don't You Worry Child" is the sixth single released by Swedish house music supergroup Swedish House Mafia. It is the last single from their second compilation album, Until Now, featuring vocals from Swedish singer John Martin. In the United States, it is the act's second number-one single on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, following "Save the World". It is the group's biggest hit single to date, as well as the final single released before their disbandment in early 2013. It was released to widespread acclaim and received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in the 2013 Grammy Awards, as did its predecessor, "Save the World", the previous year. The song is written in the key of B minor. History In May 2010, songwriters John Martin and Michel Zitron were in the latter's studio in Stockholm writing material, both recalling their lives when Zitron started opening up his upbringing in a broken home in Stockholm, mentioning the divorce between his parents. The song's chorus was taken verbatim from Zitron's father, while the pre-chorus derives from the songwriters' discovery of young love, inspiring the lyrics "Upon a hill across the blue lake/ That’s where I had my first heartbreak." Martin and Zitron wound up finishing the song later in the month and recorded a demo of the complete writing product. The song was originally meant to launch their own "electro-pop indie duo", however Zitron would later send the demo to Swedish House Mafia group member Sebastian Ingrosso alongside a few other demos in December 2010. Ingrosso would later contact the songwriters to help work on what would later become "Save the World", which was released over a year prior to "Don't You Worry Child". The following year in January, while in a Los Angeles music studio with fellow supergroup members Axwell and Steve Angello, Ingrosso phoned Zitron and Martin to "send [him] those three songs that [Zitron] played to [him] in the studio". Ingrosso called back Zitron after receiving the files to tell Zitron that Axwell was "lying on the fucking couch, almost crying" after listening to "Don't You Worry Child", before requesting to have the song for themselves. The supergroup then started to become embroiled in a long production process that "revealed personal tensions" as depicted in their 2014 documentary Leave the World Behind. The song was announced during the Swedish House Mafia's tour of Australia while they played at Future Music Festival 2012.
