No doubt you know that Mike Posner, who co-wrote the song “Stay With You” with Bergling, gave him a neat little shoutout in his hit song “I Took a Pill in Ibiza.” In the song, Posner sings out, “I took a pill in Ibiza / to show Avicii I was cool.” Posne told Billboard, “I was working with Avicii in Sweden, and it was ice cold — so when he had a gig in Ibiza, I flew down there. He played a song he had written that week, and people liked it. I’m an artist — I’m insecure and a bit narcissistic, so I’m feeling a little jealous. Then these people recognized me. People don’t usually know who I am, so that felt good. When they were like, ‘You want one of these?,’ and offered me this plastic baggie, I said, ‘Sure, man.'”
