Background and reception
"Without You" was the opening track in Avicii's Ultra Miami set in March 2016. The song was used frequently across the world throughout 2016.[citation needed] A fan made video of the song was available online from September 2016. The song was released digitally on 11 August 2017.[citation needed]
Jeffrey Yau of Your EDM said, "'Without You' is quintessential Avicii. Smooth, upbeat melodies marked with heavy string usage and a euphoric progressive house drop perfectly crafted for the mainstage. Simple, happy-go-lucky lyrics and chord progressions that will have you smiling from the first second to the last – this is Avicii at his finest."[4]
