The Chainsmokers

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigde Staten

De Chainsmokers zijn de Amerikaanse dj's en producers Andrew Taggart en Alex Pall die sinds 2012 samenwerken. Erase (dat ze samen maken met Priyanka Chopra) wordt hun eerste clubhit eind 2012.

In het voorjaar van 2014 weet #Selfie de 9e plaats in de Top 40 te bereiken. Ruim een jaar later maken ze, samen met de Amerikaanse Rozes, de track Roses, dat in februari van 2016 in de Top 40 terechtkomt. De opvolger, Don't Let Me Down (met Daya), bereikt de zevende plaats en groeit uit tot hun grootste succes in ons land. De opvolger, Closer (met Halsey), wordt hun eerste nummer 1-hit in ons land.

Eind september wordt All We Know, hun samenwerking met Phoebe Ryan, hun volgende single. Die track, maar ook Paris, dat in januari van 2017 verschijnt, worden door Radio 538 uitgeroepen tot Alarmschijf. Dat gebeurt zes weken later ook met Something Just Like This, dat ze samen met Coldplay maakten. Op 7 april verschijnt het debuutalbum van The Chainsmokers, Memories: Do Not Open, waarvan The One en Honest als singles worden uitgekozen.

In januari 2018 is Sick Boy een compleet nieuwe track die het tweetal uitbrengt. Succes blijft uit en een half jaar later wagen ze met Side Effects een nieuwe poging. Steeds bouwen ze verder aan hun Sick Boy-playlist als ze in december het nummer Hope toevoegen, waarop de Zweedse Winona Oak de vocalen voor haar rekening neemt. Die track blijft steken in de Tipparade.

In februari van 2019 maakt het duo een single met 5 Seconds Of Summer, Why Do You Love.

Songtekst

We were stayin' in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought: wow
If I could take this in a shot right now
I don't think that we could work this out

Out on the terrace
I don't know if it's fair
But I thought how
Could I let you fall by yourself
While I'm wasted with someone else

If we go down
Then we go down together
They'll say you could do anyhing
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down
Then we do down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

We were stayin' in Paris
To get away from your parents
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
Posting pictures of yourself on the internet

Out on the terrace
We breathe in the air
Of this small town
On our own cuttin' class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past we were livin' in

If we go down
Then we go down together
They'll say you could do anyhing
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down
Then we do down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better

We were stayin' in Paris
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better

If we go down
Then we go down together
They'll say you could do anyhing
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down
Then we do down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down)
We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down)
We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down)
We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down)
Let's show them we are better

We were stayin' in Paris
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
