"Greyhound" is a single by the electronic dance trio Swedish House Mafia. The track was released worldwide on March 12, 2012 as the third single from the album Until Now, released as a digital download on the iTunes Store. The song was created to promote a new drink for Absolut, Absolut Greyhound.
A music video to accompany the release of "Greyhound" was first released onto YouTube on 13 March 2012 at a total length of three minutes and twenty-two seconds. The video starts with three groups of people driving to a salt desert in cars and they have each one color (blue, yellow and red). Then the video cuts to shots of Axwell, Ingrosso and Angello putting on headsets in an underground room. The headsets give off an electric charge, which creates colored bubbles around the members of Swedish House Mafia. Axwell is yellow, Angello is red and Ingrosso is blue. The members are connected to three robot dogs; the people in the cars are dog racers. A woman lays a hovering rabbit on the ground, which starts moving, and the three greyhound dogs start to chase it. The video alternates between scenes of the robot dogs' race, shots of the owners that support their dogs, and scenes of Axwell, Ingrosso and Angello leading the robots. The yellow greyhound trips the blue greyhound, which quickly recovers and resumes the race. The three dogs reach the finishing line at the same time. A polaroid camera develops a photo of the finish, which is blown away into the desert. The video finishes with a shot of a bottle of Absolut Greyhound on a silver tray. A longer version of the video is also available.
