The voice behind 'Don't You Worry Child' speaks to Stu

Talking about how he came to work with Swedish House Mafia on Don't You Worry Child, John said, "It was written by me and Michel, my writing partner. It was one of the first songs that we ever wrote together. We played that song for Sebastian from Swedish House Mafia.

"He asked us to work with another track that he came back from LA, so we did Save The World together with him. After that one became big we decided to do Don't You Worry with them as well."

John also talked about what his father used to work as, "He was a car stunt man. For a couple of years in Sweden he was the man when they needed someone to crash a car or a car chase. He's a rally driver and that's how he started - he's been doing that for 40 years. When we went on family trips to the Swedish mountains, me and my brother fell asleep and we woke up going like 180!

"There was a movie where he was driving under a big trailer and he cut the whole roof off of his car and continued driving. So he came under with a roof and came out as a cabriolet! That was quite cool."
