Nothing will ever beat his success with Wake Me Up. I do not think this will do well in USA

Let's wait to actually hear it before making any predictions, eh?
He really needs to find a new sound though, similar to what Calvin Harris seems to be pulling off this era.

As much I love Waiting on Love, this better not fail.

I'm looking forward to hearing this! I like "The Days" ,"The Nights", and "Waiting for Love" so I'm excited about what he's got for his next song.

Looks like the digital release will have two tracks, which are this one and "Pure Grinding". Avicii is supposed to tell this soon (likely tomorrow?), but Ash Pournouri posted that on Instagram (it's deleted now) two days ago

Yes, "Pure Grinding" was digitally serviced together with "For a Better Day", not sure if we need 2 separate threads or a double-a-side one? Kurt might make your decision?

"For a Better Day"
"Pure Grinding"
I have listened to both tracks and I don't expect "For a Better Day" to do a lot here. I could be wrong of course, but "Waiting for Love" is much better than this in my opinion. On the other hand, "Pure Grinding" is really good and I didn't see that coming these trap elements. Also, it could be my favourite track off Stories, despite I wish he would do something in the vein of "I Could Be the One" again.
As a side note, "Pure Grinding" features uncredited vocals from Kristoffer Fogelmark and Earl St. Clair.

This is an interesting change of pace for him, but I just can't see this being catchy enough for the typical Pop music fan. This is way too risky for radio IMO. Nice to see he's not sticking to formula generic songs though.

Nice to see he's not sticking to formula generic songs though. The CHANGE is exactly what CHR radio is sorely lacking The 2nd listen and I'm HOOKED...its soooo good & the message is universal...typical Pop music fan & CHR radio WAKE UP on this FYI...Pure Grinding is also real good but for our format...we NEED this
