<P> Aloe Blacc , who is not credited on the track , explained to The Huffington Post : `` I started writing the lyrics at the top of 2013 , travelling back from Switzerland . I started in hip hop music back in the 90s and I never expected to be singing and have an actual career as a musician , but I 'm travelling all over the world and I thought ' Life is a dream , wake me up when it 's all over ' . I was invited to the studio with Avicii and Mike Einziger from Incubus , and when I got to the studio they had already come up with a chord progression of the song . I came in with the lyrics and I just developed the melody as I heard the chords , and we all thought it was something very strong . We finished the song that night as an acoustic version , then Avicii made the dance mix in a couple of days , and that 's what we released to the world , and that was his release . '' Blacc later released an acoustic version of the song which was included on his solo EP Wake Me Up . It was also released as a promotional stand - alone single by Interscope Records and made available online for download via iTunes . The single also charted in its right in various charts . </P>
