"Addicted to You" is a song by Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii, incorporating vocals by American folk rock singer Audra Mae. The track was written by Avicii, Arash Pournouri, Mac Davis and Josh Krajcik for making appearance on Avicii's debut studio album, True (2013), with it being later released as its fourth single. "Addicted to You" first premiered to Australian radio on 23 November 2013; a digital single of "Addicted to You" remixes was released on 11 March 2014.
Music video The music video was directed by Sebastian Ringler and was shot in Gällivare and Vaxholm. It was released on February 14, 2014. It is inspired by the story of Bonnie and Clyde and set in the 1930s. The video begins by showing a woman working in a bar as a waitress (played by Swedish actress Madeleine Minou Martin). At the same time, a blond woman enters (played by Swedish actress Hedda Stiernstedt) and asks for a drink. She sips it and then throws the glass against the wall behind the bar. This is the signal for them to draw their guns and rob the place. After, they tour the snowy roads in a car. Arriving at night at home, they lie down on a bed while caressing passionately.
They subsequently decide to rob a bank, and in the process they stop and start kissing passionately at a table while the still-terrified bank clients watch. The blonde woman places an explosive on the door of the safe box, but the police arrive and a sniper shoots her dead. Finally, her grieving girlfriend decides to take revenge by taking the explosive off of the safe, running out to the waiting police officers, and suicidally blows them all up.
The video music was broadcast with a warning and blurring on some music channels due to violent content and blood presence in the clip in France. Commerical performance Upon the release of True, "Addicted to You" debuted in Avicii's home country of Sweden in 16. It maintained a top-40 presence in ten of the eleven weeks up to its single distribution, seven of which was in the top-20. Also close to the album's release, it landed at number 19 in Switzerland and number 53 in France, remaining in the, respectively, top-100 and top-200 charts for two more weeks before its post-single reappearance in early 2014.
