In May 2007, Avicii signed on with the Dejfitts Plays label. Then, in 2010, Avicii released the hit song "Seek Bromance", which reached the top 20 in several countries including Belgium, France, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Sweden. He also remixed Nadia Ali's classic single "Rapture" for her album Queen of Clubs Trilogy: Onyx Edition. In October 2010, Avicii signed with the European A&R team with EMI Music Publishing.
Avicii released his final album prior his death in 2015 titled "Stories". The LP was his second album to go #1 and spawned the chart-topping "Waiting for Love" as well Top 5 hit singles "For a Better Day" and "Broken Arrows". The single "Pure Grinding" also reached Top 20.
In 2017, Avicii released what was originally meant to be the first EP to a three-part album.
The extended play was named "Avīci (01)" and spawned the #1 Sandro Cavazza-assisted hit "Without You".
Additionally, the Top 3 single "Lonely Together" which featured Rita Ora was also released from the EP.
"Avīci (01)" itself also went #1 and was another smash success for the DJ.
He died on 20 April 2018 in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28; the manner of his death was identified as suicide, the specific cause and method withheld from the public in accordance with standard media treatment of suicides.
Over a year after his death, on June 6th 2019, a posthumous album titled "TIM" was released. The singles "SOS" (featuring Emanon's Aloe Blacc), "Tough Love (featuring Vargas & Lagola and Agnes) and "Heaven" were released from the LP. The latter song featured vocals from Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin. "SOS" reached a peak at the top of the charts, whilst the two following singles managed to reach the #2 position. The album itself also peaked at #1, making it his third album (fourth counting his 2017 EP "Avīci (01)") to do so.

The lyrics to Avicii's song "Lay Me Down" convey the idea of being vulnerable and allowing oneself to be loved. The singer acknowledges their own weaknesses and difficulties in life but asserts their desire to be loved and to find someone who will show them that they are the one that they need. The repetition of "tell me I'm the one that you need" emphasizes this desire for acknowledgement and validation. The chorus repeatedly refers to laying down in darkness and asking the lover to tell the singer what they see. This imagery could represent the idea of release and surrender, trusting the lover to see the true self and accept it.
The verses encourage taking chances and diving into life, even if it means making a mess along the way. The line "life is a dance" suggests that life should be embraced and enjoyed, not feared or avoided. The singer also references the idea of leaving some things out of the picture frame, which could be interpreted as letting go of past hurts or unrealistic expectations.
Overall, "Lay Me Down" is a song about vulnerability, trust, and the desire to be loved fully and unconditionally. It encourages the listener to take chances and allow someone to see them for who they truly are.
