Background
Avicii had previously collaborated with Vincent Pontare and Salem Al Fakir of Vargas &Lagola on "Silhouettes","Hey Brother","Without You" and "Friend of Mine". Avicii had previously worked on the song in 2016 before his last Ultra Miami show. [3] "Tough Love" initially had a different song structure,but was reworked during Tim's final studio sessions in March 2018. Before his death,Tim had sent a message to Salem and Vincent that he wanted the song to be a duet by a "real couple. Or a couple that have worked together enough to be almost considered a couple!" Pontare's wife,Swedish singer Agnes Carlsson,also features on the song. "Tough Love" also features Indian influences from the movie Raanjhanaa (specifically the song Banarasiya) in a melodic passage that was inspired by Avicii studying the music of northwest India, [2] which he had played for Pontare and Al Fakir before his death.
