Axwell Λ Ingrosso mark 8 years since ‘More Than You Know’ became a global festival anthem
Eight years ago, Swedish duo Axwell & Ingrosso released what would become one of the defining dance tracks of the late 2010s. More Than You Know, featuring uncredited vocals by Kristoffer Fogelmark, landed on May 27, 2017, as the tenth single from their debut album of the same name. What followed was nothing short of a global takeover.
The track immediately caught attention, peaking at number two on the Swedish Singles Chart and quickly making waves across Europe. Over time, it earned classic status, spreading far beyond its local origins. DJs across the globe adopted it into their festival sets, while fans turned it into a soundtrack for the era’s biggest moments.
Although the song’s energy spoke for itself, its staying power came from more than just production. Co-written by Sebastian Ingrosso, Axel Hedfors, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Richard Zastenker, the track struck a balance between emotional resonance and dancefloor appeal. Its music video, starring Belgian model Romi Van Renterghem, helped solidify its image in pop culture.
Today, More Than You Know has racked up nearly 1.5 billion streams on Spotify and another 800 million views on YouTube – numbers that reflect its enduring popularity. As the anthem turns eight, it still feels as fresh and memorable as it did during its 2017 debut, continuing to echo across stages and speakers worldwide.
