"Don't You Worry Child" is a song by Swedish electronic dance group, Swedish House Mafia. It is the sixth and final single released before the group broke up, featuring vocals from Swedish singer John Martin. In the United States, it is the act's second number-one single on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, following "Save the World". It received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in the 2013 Grammy Awards, as did its predecessor, "Save the World", the previous year. The song is written in the key of B minor.
In addition to its groundbreaking success on both critical and commercial levels, "Don't You Worry Child" is the first song by a Swedish act to break into the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 since 1997 when Robyn's "Show Me Love" peaked at number 7. It remains the highest-peaking hit by a Swedish act since "The Sign" by Ace of Base topped the Hot 100 in 1994.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now they're memories on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born
[Chorus]
Up on a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
[Breakdown 1]
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now"
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
There was a time, I knew a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
I thought I would never lose her out of sight
We were so young, I think of her now and then
I still hear the song that reminded me of my friend
[Chorus]
Up on a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
[Breakdown 2]
