Aloe Blacc and Cooper Alan have partnered to release “Wake Me Up (Country Version),” a soulful reimagining of the global anthem originally created by Avicii and Aloe Blacc. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this rendition fuses Aloe’s timeless artistry with Alan’s contemporary country edge.

The original “Wake Me Up” became a worldwide sensation, achieving diamond certification and billions of streams. Revisiting the song with a fresh perspective, Aloe and Alan deliver a version that feels both nostalgic and entirely new.

“When I first wrote the lyrics and recorded the acoustic demo of ‘Wake Me Up,’ it had a strong bluegrass vibe,” says Aloe. “This version with Cooper brings it home to where it started in the writing room. I’m excited that a whole new generation loves it.”

Cooper Alan, known for his viral success on TikTok and his sold-out international tours, shares his enthusiasm for the project: “‘Wake Me Up’ has always felt like it carried a bit of a country soul to it. The idea of giving it a new life in a genre I love felt like a perfect fit.”
