Background
"Who" was first released as an instrumental in 2012. It became a hit at Winter Music Conference and was played by artists such as Avicii. In a 2013 interview, Plastik Funk said it actually took the record "like a year" to gain momentum, but when it did, it became massive in clubs and gained support from DJs. One such DJ was Avicii, that they actually saw in Ushuaia in Ibiza shortly after he started supporting it, and thanked him for supporting it. As a result, he played the song later that day straight after he'd performed. They also stated that the song was a song they used as a party starter and one used in between sets due to its lack of vocals. Other people who played the record included David Guetta, Skrillex, Alvin Risk, Dog Blood, Major Lazer and Chuckie.
Musically, the song consists of a simple chord progression and contains a horn lead and chants with a jungle-esque beat reinforcing a thumping beat.
