<P> In an interview with the Daily Star , Avicii , who had previously labelled `` Wake Me Up ! '' as `` a fun experiment '' during an exclusive chat with MTV UK , said : `` I had a demo with Mac Davis singing , the guy who wrote some songs that were covered by Elvis Presley , but I needed another singer to do the parts . At the same time I was tipped off about doing another track with Aloe Blacc , and I started working on that track . When I was with Mike Einziger from Incubus , we came up with the chord progression and the melody for ' Wake Me Up ! ' but ( with ) no real lyrics . None of us ( could ) sing and we really needed to get that demo down and the only person I knew that lived in LA was Aloe , so I called him and he was free . Lyrics come really easy to him so he wrote them in a couple of hours and we finished the track . '' </P>
