Composition


"The Days" is written in the key of C major, at a tempo of 127 BPM.[5] The chord structure is based on the pop punk chord progression.


Recording


The song was originally written with Vincent Pontare and Salem Al Fakir, but was meant to be a collaboration between Brandon Flowers and Avicii, with Flowers providing the vocals. However, due to Flowers' dissatisfaction with the recording, Avicii brought on a different vocalist, Robbie Williams.[6]


Music video


An official lyric video was also released on YouTube by the official Avicii Vevo channel.[7] In the video, an artist (later confirmed as INO),[8] spray-paints the lyrics of "The Days" in black against a white wall. Near the end of the video, a pan-out reveals the lyrics creating a portrait of Avicii, which is subsequently covered with splashes of coloured paint by the artist.[9]

As of July 2022, the lyric video has been viewed more than 200 million times.[10]
