After years of speculation and unofficial leaks, Avicii’s long-lost track “Let’s Ride Away” is finally getting an official release. The song, featuring vocals by Grammy-nominated singer Elle King, will appear on the upcoming tribute album, Avicii Forever, set to drop on May 16, 2025, via Interscope Records.
This long-awaited release marks a powerful moment for fans and a celebration of Tim Bergling’s musical legacy.
A Long Journey: From Unreleased Demo to Final Track
“Let’s Ride Away” originally began as a collaboration between Avicii and country-pop star Kacey Musgraves. Although fans heard snippets online over the years, the track was never officially released—until now.
The finalized version features Elle King and was completed by Carl Falk, a longtime friend and producer who worked closely with Bergling. Before this announcement, various versions of the track had leaked online, building excitement and speculation.
Now, “Let’s Ride Away” is finally ready for the world.
What’s Included on Avicii Forever
Avicii Forever is more than just a tribute—it’s a carefully curated collection of Avicii’s most beloved songs. The album includes chart-topping hits like:
- “Wake Me Up”
- “Levels”
- “Hey Brother”
- “SOS” (feat. Aloe Blacc)
- “Heaven”
Alongside these fan favorites, the inclusion of “Let’s Ride Away” brings something new to long-time listeners. This special track adds depth and emotion to an already powerful album.
The compilation features 20 tracks in total, blending global anthems with previously unreleased gems. It also includes songs from Avicii’s 2019 posthumous album, Tim.
A Tribute to Tim Bergling’s Legacy
Avicii Forever is a collaborative effort by the Bergling Estate, Interscope Records, and Pophouse. In 2022, Pophouse acquired 75% of Avicii’s publishing and recording rights. Since then, they’ve continued to honor his legacy with meaningful projects.
The album launches just days before the seventh anniversary of Avicii’s passing on April 20, 2018. To mark the date, Aloe Blacc—Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” collaborator—has announced a special streaming event in remembrance.
In addition, Pophouse is currently producing a musical based on Avicii’s life, while Oscar-winning producer Lawrence Bender is creating a new documentary featuring never-before-seen footage from Avicii’s early career.
