Avicii’s ‘Seek Bromance’ Turns 16 With a Lasting Legacy
Avicii’s Seek Bromance turns 16 with a lasting legacy that continues through new remixes, tributes and generations of electronic dance music artists
Long before Levels pushed Avicii into global recognition, Seek Bromance was already introducing his music to audiences well beyond Sweden. Released in 2010, the track grew from the instrumental Bromance, which Tim Bergling had first released under his Tim Berg alias. Adding vocals from Amanda Wilson turned that production into the version that would travel across Europe and become one of his earliest international successes. Sixteen years later, the song is still finding its way into new versions from artists including Porter Robinson and John Summit.
From Bromance To Seek Bromance
The story behind the vocal version began several months after Tim Bergling released Bromance in April 2010. The instrumental was later paired with vocals connected to Samuele Sartini and Amanda Wilson’s Love U Seek, with Wilson providing the vocal heard throughout Seek Bromance. That combination kept the melodic core of Bromance while giving the track a vocal that helped it reach a much broader audience.

Its success soon extended beyond clubs and DJ sets. Seek Bromance reached No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart and spent 13 weeks inside the Top 100, all before Levels followed in 2011. The track also introduced more listeners to the melodic progressive house production that was becoming central to Avicii’s early releases.
A Track Artists Kept Coming Back To
The attention around Seek Bromance also led other producers to put their own spin on it during the original release period. Porter Robinson created an official remix in 2010, early in his own career, while a bootleg attributed to Axwell circulated around the same time. These versions appeared before Avicii reached the worldwide success that followed over the next few years.
That history gained a new chapter in 2026 when John Summit debuted an unreleased remix during his first show in Sweden. He played the track at Förbindelsehallen in Stockholm on June 26, after wanting to remix Seek Bromance for years. According to John Summit, the timing finally felt right when he had the chance to play in Tim Bergling’s home country. He also described Avicii as a constant inspiration.

Hearing the track reworked in Stockholm 16 years later brought its history back to where Tim Bergling came from. Porter Robinson had already added his own version during the track’s earliest years, while John Summit returned to it from a completely different point in electronic dance music. Those releases and tributes have kept Seek Bromance in DJ sets and conversations long after 2010, while its place in Avicii’s early catalogue has only become clearer with time.
