Celebrating 12 Years Of Avicii & Nicky Romero’s Epic ‘I Could Be The One’

Going into 2012 both Avicii and Nicky Romero were coming off the back of releasing possibly their most iconic tracks as in 2011 Avicii had dropped the iconic ‘Levels’ and Nicky Romero had released the legendary ‘Toulouse.’ When it came to this date 12 years ago they unveiled what is easily one of the best progressive house anthems ever. The timeless classic ‘I Could Be The One.’

The track was first unveiled in November of 2011 as an instrumental and would go under the working title of ‘NickTim’ which was a combination of both artists names. A year later the vocal version would see the light of day with uncredited vocals from Noonie Bao who would continue to collaborate with Avicii as she featured in ‘Always On The Run’ on the album ‘True.’ She would also give a very emotional performance on ‘Fades Away’ featured on Avicii’s posthumous album ‘Tim.’

Upon the release of ‘I Could Be The One’ it would achieve a great deal of commercial success as it hit number 1 in the charts in the UK and Hungary along with reaching the top 40 around most of the globe. The song has gone on to receive nearly half a billion streams on Spotify and Nicky Romero still plays it in his DJ sets accompanied by a tribute to Avicii. It would be an understatement to say that ‘I Could Be The One’ is just a great song. It’s a historic track that will always bring the summer party energy.
