Waiting for Love was released by Swedish DJ Avicii in 2015, with production help from Martin Garrix and an uncredited vocal by Simon Aldred of Cherry Ghost. Its lyrics move through the days of the week, starting low on Monday and holding out hope by Thursday. The song became a major dance hit across Europe and online, and this opening line later resurfaced in short form edits where the weekly countdown works as a ready made structure for heartbreak, recovery and Monday mood posts.
