Avicii vs Nicky Romero - I Could Be The One | Beyond The Lyrics

Story of Song

‘I Could Be the One’ was initially named ‘Nicktim’, which is a combination of the producers’ names, Nick Rotteveel and Tim Bergling. A year after, the vocals were added, and when they fully mastered the track they named it ‘I Could Be the One’. The video is about a desperate woman who hates her life and everyday routine. Then the woman wakes up in a hotel room with a guy lying next to her, looking out to a balcony with a beach view. She then goes on to enjoy her life by walking on the beach, dancing, and having sex on a yacht. She later wakes up in her apartment to find out it was just a dream. She moves on with her life and becomes even more desperate, starting to destroy her office. Later, she buys a one-way ticket to Barbados, but as she’s crossing the street, she’s hit by a delivery van which is labeled 2Late.
