    Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

    “Don’t You Worry Child” is the sixth and final single to be released by Swedish electronic dance group, Swedish House Mafia before their indefinite hiatus, featuring vocals from Swedish singer John Martin. In the United States, it is the act’s second number-one single on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, following “Save the World.”

History

    The song was announced during the Swedish House Mafia’s tour of Australia in early 2012. They say it was made from the inspiration they took from the beauty of Australia and was said to have made grown men cry. The title “Don’t You Worry Child” was mentioned a few times, with hints from the Swedes themselves on their Twitter pages. When it was announced that the tour the Swedish House Mafia was about to set on would be their last, a farewell single was also announced - “Don’t You Worry Child” being that single. The song had its live debut at the Swedish House Mafia’s Milton Keynes Bowl concert and its radio debut on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show on 10 August 2012. It was written by John Martin and Max Kennedy, and the sheet music is available to download for free as a PDF file.

Music video

    The music video released on 14 September 2012 features footage recorded entirely at their recent performance at Milton Keynes Bowl.
