Addicted To You (feat. Audrea Mae) (David Guetta remix)

Avicii's 'Addicted To You' featuring Audrea Mae, especially in the David Guetta remix, is a powerful portrayal of overwhelming love and the helplessness it can bring. The lyrics describe a person who has unexpectedly fallen in love, despite having sworn off such emotions in the past. The song's narrator speaks of letting their guard down and being taken by surprise by the intensity of their feelings. This unexpected fall into love is likened to an addiction, suggesting that the feeling is not only powerful but also uncontrollable and consuming.

The metaphor of love as a drug is a common trope in music and literature, and Avicii uses it to great effect here. The lyrics 'Hooked on your love, Like a powerful drug, I can't get enough of' convey the idea that the narrator is experiencing a high from the love they feel, one that they are unable to resist or walk away from. The imagery of being 'lost in your eyes' and 'drowning in blue' further emphasizes the depth of the narrator's infatuation, painting a picture of someone completely submerged in their emotions, without a way to regain control.

The song's addictive beat and melody, combined with the lyrics, create a sense of urgency and intensity that mirrors the emotional turmoil described. Avicii, known for his electronic dance music, and David Guetta, a master of house music, blend their styles to amplify the theme of addiction. The music compels the listener to feel the rush of emotions alongside the narrator, making 'Addicted To You' a compelling exploration of love's overpowering force.
