AVICII - WAKE ME UP
 
AVICII is born in Stockholm, Sweden on 8 September 1989 as TIM BERGLING. 
 
He is Sweden’s biggest DJ, remixer, record producer, musician and songwriter since 2006. 
 
He has several hit songs like Levels, Wake Me Up and Hey Brother. 
 
He had difficultly with his mental health and sadly he passed away on 20 April 2018 in Muscat, Oman. 
 
He committed suicide using a glass shard to cut himself. 
 
Sweden and I were so saddened by his tragic death. 
 
Now I want to honour him and his fantastic music work by selecting him and Wake Me Up as Sweden’s entry to TOISC 2021. 
 
Let’s remember there are much work  behind the music and the artists are humans like we are. They are no superheroes. They have difficulties to fight like us. 
 
You will be never forgotten Avicii.
 
RIP!!

Yeah, the singer isn't always the main artist of a song. It's like if you wouldn't accept Get Lucky as a Daft Punk song. That wouldn't make much sense, right? 

Yes this song is fine to represent Sweden. It certainly qualifies by the 50% rule and Avicii produced the song and it is very much associated with him so it is more than fine
