About this song
The Chainsmokers confirmed the title on Twitter on May 31, 2017, after Andrew Taggart had previewed the track in a KISS FM Phoenix interview during the Memories...Do Not Open tour. Taggart described the song as angrier and darker than their hit with Coldplay, "Something Just Like This." It was the first single after the duo's 2018 rebrand and new sound, which began with their debut album Memories...Do Not Open.
What it's about
Andrew Taggart explores the cultural differences between the East and West coasts of America and the self-doubt those differences create in him. Unlike the duo's earlier love-focused tracks, the song mixes a political stance with an ironic undertone.
