"Hey Brother" is the moment on True, Avicii's 2013 debut album, when the Swedish DJ and producer hands the microphone to a bluegrass man: the American singer Dan Tyminski takes the vocal, with Gabe Dixon behind him. It's a dance song that finds Avicii giving his brother advice, and he wrote it with Ash Pournouri, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare and Veronica Maggio.
It was the album's third single. Australian radio got it first, on 9 October 2013, and Germany, Switzerland and Austria followed on 28 October. Avicii wasn't finished with it, either: in April 2014 his own remix turned up on True (Avicii by Avicii), with Salem Al Fakir now singing.
