“Let’s Ride Away” by Avicii Finally Coming out Soon

After years of anticipation, Avicii‘s posthumous track “Let’s Ride Away” is finally set to be officially released, marking a bittersweet moment for fans of the late Swedish EDM legend. The song, which features the soulful vocals of Elle King, will appear on Avicii Forever, a tribute compilation due out on May 16th, 2025. This new release, a culmination of both nostalgia and unfulfilled potential, offers a glimpse into one of Avicii’s final creative endeavors before his tragic passing in 2018.

“Let’s Ride Away” has a storied past, with rumors swirling around it for years, much of it from unauthorized leaks and unfinished snippets online. The track originally began as a collaboration with country artist Kacey Musgraves, but it was never completed. Now, Carl Falk, a longtime Avicii collaborator, has mixed and finalized the song, adding Elle King’s distinctive voice to the final version.

The compilation promises to be a powerful celebration of Avicii’s genre-blending legacy. Alongside the new track, Avicii Forever will feature some of the DJ’s most iconic anthems, including “Levels,” “Wake Me Up,” and “Hey Brother,” as well as selections from his 2019 posthumous album Tim. It’s a collection that spans the evolution of his career and solidifies his impact on both EDM and mainstream music.

As the anniversary of Avicii’s death approaches, Avicii Forever serves not just as a compilation, but as a testament to the enduring influence of a visionary artist. This release follows other efforts to preserve his legacy, including an upcoming musical and two documentaries, one of which will delve into previously unseen footage from his rise to stardom.

With Avicii Forever, fans are given another opportunity to remember an artist who changed the soundscape of modern music, blending EDM with pop, folk, and country, leaving a sound that’s unmistakably his own.
