| Song |
"Levels" (stylized as "LE7ELS") is a song by Swedish house producer and DJ Avicii. It was released on October 28, 2011. The song was written by Avicii and Ash Pournouri, and contains a vocal sample from the 1962 gospel-inspired "Something's Got a Hold on Me" by Etta James, as written by Leroy Kirkland, Pearl Woods and James. "Levels" peaked at number one in Sweden, and became a top ten hit in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[2]
The song is the base for Flo Rida's track "Good Feeling" which was a worldwide hit in late 2011.[3]
Music video
The official video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on November 29, 2011. The video starts with a man in an office who is talking to a fellow co-worker when he suddenly starts dancing. He scribbles the word "Avicii" on different surfaces, dances on tables while co-workers disapprovingly watch him dance, and later get tasered and fall in a coma. While in a coma, he has a vision of himself pushing a boulder on a mountain while singing the chorus lines. Before he wakes up, a flower sprouts from his mouth, which infects the male nurses looking after him. The video ends with him, all the doctors and nurses dancing, also presumably infected. The video was directed by Petro.
Remixes
This song has been remixed by several artists, including Cazzette and Skrillex. [citation needed]
