Nearly a decade later, the petals of The Chainsmokers' hit song “Roses” still haven't wilted.
Now they're turning back time to those days with their new single, “Friday,” which they said is a spiritual successor to that nostalgic song. Channeling the mad ecstasy of “Roses,” the song swaps thorns for firecrackers to capture the all-consuming intensity of young love.
The lyrics, poignantly delivered by Fridayy, encapsulate the heady rush of newfound romance, where the world seems abuzz with infinite possibilities and outside voices fall on deaf ears. The Chainsmokers have always been masters at suppressing the heady feelings of those early days, when consequences take a backseat to the pursuit of passion and pleasure.
Fans of the duo's early work will feel right at home thanks to its upbeat production and charismatic songwriting. This carefree spirit reaches its crescendo with Fridayy's war cry in the chorus, a ringing endorsement for harnessing the fleeting ecstasies of youth before they inevitably fade.
