“Tell Me Why” the Successful Reference
Indeed, the track “Tell Me Why” by the Swedish DJ duo Supermode, composed of Steve Angello and Axwell, is a song that marked its time and influenced many artists.
“Tell Me Why” was released in 2006 and quickly became an international hit in the world of electronic and dance music. The track is actually a remix of two songs released in 1988, “Small Town Boy” and “Why?” by Bronski Beat, from which it takes the iconic vocal melody. The track achieved great commercial success, charting in many countries’ top ten, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and reaching number one in Belgium (Wallonia) and Finland. It was certified Silver in the UK. The song sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Beyond the numbers, “Tell Me Why” also had a considerable cultural impact, becoming an iconic anthem of electronic music and being used in numerous advertisements, films, and TV series. Additionally, several artists, including David Guetta and Fedde Le Grand, have covered this track.
