"Broken Arrows"
Song

"Broken Arrows" is a 2015 single by Avicii featuring uncredited vocals from Zac Brown of Zac Brown Band, released on Universal Music.[3][4][5] The track appears on his album Stories.[2]

Composition

"Broken Arrows" combines Brown's vocals with "thumping bass and twinkling synth lines"

Like one of Avicii's previous singles "Hey Brother", "Broken Arrows" is a dance song containing elements of country music. It's written in the key of G major.[6]

Reception

Chris Parton of Rolling Stone described Brown's vocals as "crystal-clear" and the song's hook as "a cross between a game-show theme song and something from Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers".[6]

Music video

The accompanying music video for the song was released on 23 November 2015. It is inspired by the life of Dick Fosbury, who revolutionized the high jump by introducing a new technique known as the Fosbury Flop.[7]
