Swedish House Mafia’s ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ Tops a Billion Views on YouTube


The accomplishment marks the first clip by the trio to join this elite group.

Coming on the same day as the song, the “Don’t You Worry Child” video expanded the lore around the track and the group, who three months earlier had announced that they were breaking up. The video’s narrative focuses on the breakup, working in news reports about the situation and also incorporating footage from the group’s July 14, 2012, performance at England’s Milton Keynes Bowl, where they debuted the song. With the accomplishment, Swedish House Mafia joins the Billion Views Club that already includes a cavalcade of hits, like Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “ Despacito,” Ed Sheeran’s “ Shape of You,” Wiz Khalifa’s “ See You Again ” featuring Charlie Puth, Mark Ronson’s “ Uptown Funk ” featuring Bruno Mars and other videos by artists like Rihanna, Drake, The Weeknd and Cyndi Lauper.
