This is not really what i was expecting from the Chainsmokers. The lyrics could be improved, but the beat is really good. I don't see this being a big hit.

On first listen, not great. I loved all their singles from Roses to Something Just Like This (Ew at Honest), but this reminds me of something Linkin Park would have released to CHR from their last few albums.

Whoa, this came out of NOWHERE! No lead up, no announcement, just boom video.
Was that really the smartest move given the scandal that's happening with Alex that broke yesterday?

On first listen its good. I didn't like Paris to start with but now it's my favorite Chainsmokers song ever and one of if not my favorite song from 2017, mostly because of the final drop. Hope this is a hit.

Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe they released it suddenly to deflect from that. Anyway, I really hope this is a hit! I want their success to continue. |

I hope they’re moser experimental with their next album. More songs like this would be good plus hopefully some better guest singers.

Is this an official single? I think so, they’re treating it like one on Instagram. |

So this is basically like a twenty one pilots ripoff?

I like this! Although since it was kind of an unexpected mid-week release, I don't expect it to smash.

Well it feels like there's already more interest in this song in this thread than there ever was in the Honest thread

Why do they insist on putting him in front of a microphone though? He just talks his way through the song, it gets really annoying. Would have been so much better with an actual singer.

So they borrowed Katy's topic and Twenty One Pilot's sound? Cool, I guess.

His vocals don't express much emotion, he needs to do duets. The song is not bad but will it alienate their EDM fanbase?

I like this. I was waiting on their signature bridge instrumental though.

They need to have other people sing their songs. Drew’s voice is weak and lacks character
The song is alright, kinda cringey, but isn’t everything from TCS?

To my surprise, I like this. Probably my third favorite single from them after SJLT and Roses. I usually don't have much a of an opinion on their material. It's mostly just there for me without like or dislike, or...  |

I actually like this, I think. It's different (for them), but it sort of works.
