“Closer” is a millennial romance anthem that celebrates youth and heartbreak. It features vocals from singer-songwriter Halsey and Chainsmokers member Andrew Taggart, marking the first time The Chainsmokers sung on their own track and the first time they’ve collaborated with Halsey.
On Twitter, the duo wrote about the meaning of the song:
This song is dedicated to anyone that hooked up with their EX and right after remember all the reasons why they broke up.
“Closer” was premiered at Bonnaroo by Halsey and she later confirmed its release on her Instagram:
"You heard it tonight. My phone hasn’t had service in 2 days, bonnaroo but I’m pullin enough juice to inform you that @thechainsmokers and I have a BRAND NEW SONG coming out soon. Those of you who got to witness it tonight, lucky you. 💋💋💋"
Halsey also teased the track on Twitter a week prior to the release by releasing a cropped version of the photo featured the single’s art.
The single is featured on their EP "Collage" as well as on the Japanese release of "Memories…Do Not Open".
