How do you make the music keep going even when going to a new ViewController in Swift?

I would like to play a mp3 file in a UIViewController. Though, when the user leaves the view controller the music stops. How do I keep it playing? 

var alertSound: NSURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("musicFileHere", ofType: "mp3")!)!
var error: NSError?
audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: alertSound, error: &error)
audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()

Add audioPlayer.play so your whole code looks like this:

var alertSound: NSURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("musicFileHere", ofType: "mp3")!)!
var error: NSError?
audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: alertSound, error: &error)
audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()   
audioPlayer.play
