Background and composition

"Wake Up" was written by band members Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, and Ben McKee and Mattman & Robin who also produced the track. A snippet of the song, along with snippets of "Fire in These Hills" and "Nice to Meet You", were shared to the winning Croyants team on the band's four doors website. In an interview with NPR, Reynolds described the background of the song: [2]

It's really about waking up from my own mind. I get really numb very easy. When I was in middle school...I found myself being quite cloudy in my head and started therapy at a pretty young age and found that I kind of have to get out of my own head, and ["Wake Up"] is just about that. I would sit down and kind of write down points for my therapist in my notebook about who I wanted to be.

— Dan Reynolds
