Background and release

"Don't Wake Me Up" was written by Alain Whyte, Alessandro Benassi, Brian Kennedy, Chris Brown, Jean-Baptiste, Marco Benassi, Michael McHenry, Nick Marsh, Priscilla Hamilton, Ryan Buendia and William Orbit. It was produced by Benny and Alle Benassi, Free School, Orbit and Kennedy.[1] "Don't Wake Me Up" was originally intended for American pop singer Madonna's twelfth studio album MDNA (2012); however, she could not record the song because of her tight schedule, and Orbit gave the song to Brown.[2][3] After an unofficial version of "Don't Wake Me Up" was leaked online in January 2012,[4] websites reported that the song was produced by David Guetta.[5] However, Guetta said on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, "I'm credited for 'Don't Wake Me Up' ... but I did not produce this record. Best to CB!".[5]

On May 12, 2012, Brown announced on his Twitter account that he would release "Don't Wake Me Up" as the next single from his fifth studio album Fortune.[6] It was made available for download via iTunes Stores worldwide on May 18, 2012.[7] The Free School/William Orbit remix of the song was released in some European countries on May 22, 2012.[8] In the United States, "Don't Wake Me Up" was sent to contemporary hit radio and rhythmic contemporary radio playlists on June 12, 2012.[9][10] On June 22, 2012, it was released as a CD single in Germany and as a Digital EP in the United Kingdom.[11][12] The EP contains the album version, remix and Brown's previous singles "Till I Die" and "Sweet Love".[12] It is the 10th track on Now That's What I Call Music! 44.

Composition and lyrics

"Don't Wake Me Up" is an EDM song that features heavy bass; it lasts for 3 minutes and 42 seconds.[7][13][14][15] The instrumentation is provided by an acoustic guitar and synthesizers.[16][17] Brown uses auto-tune on the hook and breakdown.[16] "Don't Wake Me Up" is written in the key of B♭ major and is set in common time with a tempo of 128 beats per minute.[18] Brown's vocal range spans from the note of G4 to the note of C6.[18] The song contains lyrics about a lost loved one who exists only in a dream, as stated by Brittany R. Villalva of The Christian Post.[19] "Don't Wake Me Up" begins with a spoken introduction by an unidentified woman saying, "Dearly Beloved, if this love only exists in my dreams, don't wake me up".[20] Robbie Daw of Idolator compared her voice to that of Rihanna.[20] The song's chorus consists of the hook "Don't wake me up".[15][21] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy wrote that the chorus "flourishes into a pulse-racing mix of thundering beats and squiggly electronic swizzles".[2] HitFix's Melinda Newman noted that the song "resembles the sweet bounciness of 'Forever'".[22]

Background

The accompanying music video for "Don't Wake Me Up" was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in a desert on May 14, 2012.[23] Several images from the shoot, showing Brown posing shirtless against a vintage car, and images of Brown posing with model Araya Nicks, who plays his love interest in the video, were posted on the Internet the following day.[23] The video premiered online on June 11, 2012.[24] Later that day, Brown made a guest appearance on 106 & Park and discussed the video's concept:

With this video, we wanted to go completely into the dream world. A lot of my videos from 'Turn Up the Music' and other videos I'm doing now are in a dream state of believing what you want to believe. So that's what Fortune kinda encompasses. So it's basically dreaming and accomplishing your dreams. This video is me dreaming and being taken into this whole kind of maze. I keep waking up within a dream within a dream, almost on some Inception type ... but I don't want to bite that.[25]

Synopsis

The video begins with Brown singing alone in a desert in front of a sunset backdrop. It then cuts to Brown waking up in a bedroom as he notices a mysterious woman (played by Araya Nicks) walking through the first of three doors behind him. Each door is labeled with hieroglyphics in gold. During the first chorus, Brown follows the woman through the door and enters a garden maze. This scene is intercut with scenes of Brown singing in the desert. He then returns to bed as the woman walks through the second door. Brown follows her again and appears in a city in the sky. This scene is also intercut with scenes of him in the desert. During the second chorus, Brown is hit by a tidal wave which sends him back to bed. He then enters the third door and appears driving a vintage car in the desert. Brown drives after the woman until he hits a sign that reads "Road Closed", which causes him to drive off a cliff. The video then cuts to Brown and the woman lying in bed with electrodes attached to their heads.

Reception

Nicole Sia of Idolator called the clip Brown's "Video of the Year" and complimented its "stunning dream imagery".[26] A writer for The Edge called it "another visually tantalising music video" from Brown,[27] while Rap-Up described it as surreal.[28] Trent Fitzgerald of PopCrush described the video as "good visual fun" and wrote that it reminded him of the television series Day Break.[29] He compared the ending to the 1999 film The Matrix.[29] The video was nominated for World's Best Video at the 2012 World Music Awards.[30]

Live performances

On June 8, 2012, Brown performed "Don't Wake Me Up" on Today as part of its Summer Concert Series, for which he wore a New York Yankees cap, a multicolored Snow Beach Polo jacket, black jeans and white sneakers.[31] The set list also included "Turn Up the Music", "Yeah 3x" and "Forever".[31] At the 2012 BET Awards ceremony on July 1, 2012, Brown performed "Don't Wake Me Up" and "Turn Up the Music", for which he appeared shirtless with half his body painted gray.[32] Brown performed acrobatic moves with six backup dancers under triangle-shaped beams as green and red flashing lights appeared throughout the stage.[32] Georgette Cline of The Boombox wrote that Brown "put on an energetic show" and described his dance routines during the performance as "eye-catching".[32]

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy called it "this summer's biggest anthem", awarding the song five stars out of five and writing that Brown delivers it "with effortless swagger".[2] JusMusic of Singersroom described "Don't Wake Me Up" as a "fun and bubbly track",[21] while a writer for Rap-Up labeled it as an "electrifying Top 40 record".[33] Robbie Daw of Idolator complimented the song's production as a "strobe light thumper" and wrote that if listeners enjoy Brown's auto-tuned tracks, "then you won't be disappointed".[20] Time's Melissa Locker viewed "Don't Wake Me Up" and "Turn Up the Music" as the only potential hits from Fortune.[34]

Nick Levine of BBC Music called the song "a smash".[35] AOL Radio's Phil Kukawinski noted that "Don't Wake Me Up" has "a nice juxtaposition of calm and energetic" and that it "seems to be one of those songs that merges the two sounds in a perfect way".[15] James Reed of The Boston Globe called the song "a thumping club cut that's irresistible".[36] Trent Fitzgerald of PopCrush described "Don't Wake Me Up" as a "fist-pumping club jam" but felt that it is "not as catchy as 'Beautiful People'".[37] In a review of Fortune, Barry Walters of Spin magazine wrote that "Don't Wake Me Up", along with "Sweet Love" and "Till I Die", contain "thin melodies and stock shock lyrics" that make Brown's previous singles sound better.[38] "Don't Wake Me Up" was nominated for World's Best Song at the 2013 World Music Awards.[30]
