As "Hey Brother" nears the end of its run, this will be the third U.S. single from True. It's on the latest TMCentury Hit Disc.

YAS! Good choice. Much prefer this to "Hey Brother" and "Wake Me Up".

HATE "Hey Brother" and "Wake Me Up," but this is awesome! I've been hearing it at my job for a few months now. Had no clue it was Avicii/a new song.

Oh, well... THREE EDM-folky-mixed singles in a row. Great. Granted this isn't nearly so folk-leaning as the previous two, but still.  |

The video is like watching a women's Bonnie and Clyde with an ironic twist. Love this!

They followed "Wake Me Up" with "You Make Me", but that didn't do much outside Sweden, then bam, "Hey Brother" was another huge European #1. I personally like the non-folk influenced song on the album more ("You Make Me"), but if these got a better response... they should go for it. |

But he can only ride that for so long, and the longer it goes the more likely it is that the pigeonhole will set in. |

YES!
This is MUCH better than the previous two singles. I liked "Wake Me Up" alright enough and really didn't care for "Hey Brother". This one sounds awesome: production, vocals, everything.

I wonder if they're gonna make a radio edit out of the video or just stick to the original like they did with "Cups"; the song isn't even 2-and-a-half minutes long...

Little surprising given that they are releasing Lay Me Down overseas right now...I guess they're not skipping ATY in the US like they skipped YMM. Too bad. I thought they might try to end the era with a little different sound for Avicii. I like ATY but it is very much in the same vein as WMU and HB.

Isn't "Lay Me Down" getting serviced to Dance at the moment? If so, I don't think I would worry about that getting skipped unless he's already announced a new album.

Good song!!! Love it better than Wake Me Up by far, but Hey Brother had me more hooked from the start, but I imagine this will be my favorite single from the album thus far!

Probably my favorite track from this outstanding album, but the structure of the song is a little unusual for CHR. It's almost not a complete song (just 2 verses and 2 choruses). It'll be interesting to see how it does.

Finally! I really like "Wake Me Up", but I get burned of it because of the constant plays, while I couldn't get into "Hey Brother". Wish "You Make Me" would be released as well, but it looks like it isn't though. Isn't "Lay Me Down" getting serviced to Dance at the moment? Actually, no. "Lay Me Down" is expected to be the next single overseas, being already sent to radio in Australia. I thought ATY was currently being serviced to dance in the US right now. This is correct. Well, kind of. "Addicted to You" was serviced to Dance radio and it impacted on March 4 1 on that format. However, it's not listed as Under Cool New Music on Dance anymore, whereas "Hey Brother" is.
1 I had this info because I made the thread on that format. |

Anything is better than the atrocious Hey Brother for me, so definitely an improvement. I'm in love with the video too, so different and entertaining.

The Avicii by Avicii remix AND video for "Hey Brother" are miles better than their original counterparts. This has a nice video so is be damned if this becomes another "I Could Be The One". |

Anything is better than Hey Brother to me, too country. Hated it 6 months ago, still hate it. Not gonna pretend to understand this choice over Lay Me Down, clearly a summer banger. But at least international is getting it. Okay then...I like this fine though and her voice is cool.

Everyone I know thought that this was Adele at first. It's such a catchy and efficient song (2:30!) that I think it will do at least as well as Hey Brother.
Still waiting for the Lay Me Down smash to drop. (And watch it end up being poorly received by CHR. Sigh.)
