"Don't You Worry Child"
Song

"Don't You Worry Child" is a song by Swedish electronic dance group Swedish House Mafia. It is the sixth and final single released before the group broke up, 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".[1] It 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 D major.[2]

In addition to its success on both critical and commercial levels, "Don't You Worry Child" is the first song by a Swedish act to break into the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 since 1997 when Robyn's "Show Me Love" peaked at number 7. It remains the highest-peaking hit by a Swedish act since "The Sign" by Ace of Base topped the Hot 100 in 1994.

History

The song was announced during the Swedish House Mafia's tour of Australia whilst they played at Future Music Festival 2012. They say it was made from the inspiration they took from the beauty of Australia. The title "Don't You Worry Child" was mentioned a few times, with hints from the group members themselves on their Twitter pages. When it was announced that the tour the Swedish House Mafia was about to set on would be their last, a farewell single was also announced – "Don't You Worry Child" being that single. The song had its live debut at the Swedish House Mafia's Milton Keynes Bowl concert and its radio debut on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show on 10 August 2012. It was written by John Martin and Max Kennedy, and the sheet music is available to download for free as a PDF file.[3]

In the US, the song became Swedish House Mafia's biggest hit, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it their first top ten single. The song has sold over 2 million copies in the US as of March 2013.[6]
