In a joint statement, The Chainsmokers say, “The song perfectly captures the spirit of today’s relationships, the lengths we will go for someone we love, and the lies we tell ourselves to continue on unhappily.  However, underlying these dark and often contentious lyrics is a production that feels celebratory because we all know at the end of the day, we never listen to advice, we do what feels best for ourselves and keep telling ourselves it will be different this time.”

And yes, we will be getting a new album from the duo.  Earlier this month The Chainsmokers shared:

“At the end of 2019 we felt a little bit lost. We had just put out our 3rd album and finished our second major tour in the US. Eternally grateful, but very worn down, we decided we needed to take some time to reflect and rediscover what made us most excited about this project. 

We escaped to Hawaii with some friends and gave ourselves permission to not create anything at all if we didn’t want to. And we didn’t for the first four days. We woke up late, surfed all afternoon, drank wine, ate mushrooms, talked for hours, listened to music we loved, and laughed our asses off. On the fourth day we made a song that felt like all of that. You’ll hear it soon. That song changed the trajectory of the trip. After that, all we wanted to do was create. We hadn’t felt that way since the beginning of our career. We came home with a body of work that has become the backbone of this album. We spent the next two years picking apart every song we wrote from the lyrics to production to make them the absolute best they could possibly be, knowing that you were waiting and because we felt that we owed it to you.

It’s finally done now. Thank you for giving us time to rediscover ourselves, our music, and our love for why we do this. The truth is, we could have only made this album now. And we can’t wait to share it with you.”
