‘Waiting for Love’ By Avicii Has Turned 9 Years Old

On this day 9 years ago, Avicii blessed all of us with the release of ‘Waiting For Love’, a track that not only showcased his extraordinary talent but one that became a quick global sensation. 

The song’s been in the billions club for a while now amassing 1 billion streams on Spotify in August 2022 and a mere 3 months later, a billion views on Youtube.

While we all reminisce and miss Avicii’s presence, this song has reminded us why we fell in love with Avicii and his music in the first place. 

For lovers of electronic dance music and Avicii, keeping up with the days became easier, thanks to the dj/producer’s use of the days of the week in a quirky and delightful way. Thursdays quickly took on a new meaning as many of us found ourselves echoing the infamous lyrics “Thursday waiting for love, waiting for love”. 

If you’re a huge fan of both electronic dance music and Avicii as I am, vivid images of Avicii performing with his signature backwards baseball cap and hand movements are sure to surface in your mind as you groove along to the beats of ‘Waiting For Love’. 

Maybe over the years, Monday’s left you broken or perhaps, Tuesday’s you were through with hoping…

Either way, I’m sure Avicii’s ‘Waiting For Love’ with its tantalizing energy and spirit continues to echo in your mind, keeping the very essence and legacy of Avicii alive in the hearts of his fans.
