Kygo started to learn to play the piano at age six through lessons. He decided to have a go at remixes and creating electronic music after discovering Avicii at age 15-16. After receiving over 80 million hits on YouTube and Soundcloud, Kygo was contacted by both Avicii and Chris Martin of Coldplay to create official remixes of one the artists' songs.
His remix of "I See Fire" entered Romania's Top 40 and remained there for 14 weeks, peaking at Number 2 as of June 3rd, 2014.
When creating/remixing music Kygo uses Logic Studio.
His track "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez, has exceeded 1 billion plays on Spotify.
He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date. (In 2020 it refers to his "hotly anticipated album scheduled for 2015.")
You're the Best Thing About Me
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you look so good, baby, you don't even know
When the world is ours but the world is not your kind of thing
Full of shooting stars, brighter as they're vanishing
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach
You're the best thing about me
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
The best thing about me
Why am I
Why am I walking away?
Why am I walking away?
I'll be crying out, "How bad can a good time be?"
Shooting off my mouth, that's another great thing about me
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall
You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
The best thing about me
The best thing
The best thing
The lyrics to Kygo's song "You're the Best Thing About Me" convey a sense of deep admiration and affection for the subject of the song. The opening lines suggest that the person being sung about has a certain resilience in the face of adversity. Even when experiencing pain, they have a way of hiding it well, and they radiate a positive energy that others can't help but notice. This is made clear in the line, "When you look so good, baby, you don't even know." The next few lines present a contrast between the idealized world of stars and fantasy and the real world, which is not always kind. But even in this harsh reality, the subject of the song has been able to see the beauty inherent in life, and they know that important lessons can be learned from children.
The chorus of the song brings it all home, declaring that the subject of the song is "the best thing" that the singer has ever experienced. This person brings a sense of joy and adventure to the singer's life, even if they know that everything can fall apart at any moment. The second verse gives a glimpse into the singer's own feelings of insecurity and desperation, suggesting that even though they have everything they could want, something still feels missing. But the subject of the song is able to calm these fears and make everything feel right again. In the end, the listener is left with a sense of the transformative, even magical power that this one person holds over the singer.

Hard to wrap my head around that U2 & Kygo collabed and it's honestly good - not tropical house but something different and in the right direction for Kygo. Hope you all enjoy this. :)

A true collaboration is two artists coming together and creating something neither of them would make without the other. This is wonderful.
