Searching for the "full" version of True is an act of preservation. It is a fan’s way of saying: We remember the banjos, the country chords, the strange time signatures, and the melancholy. We don't just want the hits. We want the "Liar Liar" extended mix. We want the demo where "Wake Me Up" had a different synth lead.

Following the massive success of his 2011 hit "," expectations for Avicii’s first full-length project were sky-high. However, instead of playing it safe with standard festival anthems, Bergling opted for "disruption".

"True" was a commercial success, peaking at number 1 on the Swedish Albums Chart and within the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Denmark, and the UK.
