Closer
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics

The song "Closer" by The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey, as sung by KIDZ BOP Kids, is about a couple who have broken up but are still drawn to each other. The first verse is sung from the perspective of the male of the relationship, who had a fine life before he met the female but now can't shake her from his thoughts. He admits to "talking too much" but is okay with it. He also hopes to never see her friends again, implying that he didn't enjoy their company. The female perspective is then sung by Halsey, remembering how her heart was broken when the couple moved to the city in a broken-down car and lost contact with each other for four years. She recognizes that the male is looking good but also feels far away from him.

The chorus is the most recognizable part of the song, which goes, "So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover / That I know you can't afford / Bite that tattoo on your shoulder / Pull the sheets right off the corner / Of the mattress that you stole / From your roommate back in Boulder / We ain't ever getting older." The chorus continues throughout the song and is about the couple feeling a strong physical pull towards each other, despite their past issues. They want to forget about their problems and live in the moment. The line about biting the tattoo on the male's shoulder is a reference to the music video, where the male is shown with a tattoo of an anchor on his shoulder.

In the second verse, the male admits that he forgets why he left the female and describes himself as insane for doing so. The two share a fond memory of playing Blink-182 in Tuscon. The chorus repeats and then the song ends with the repeated line, "No we ain't ever getting older."

Overall, "Closer" is a catchy, poppy song with a relatable message about a tumultuous yet undeniable love. The verses and chorus serve to tell a specific story, while the electronic instrumentals are upbeat and danceable. It's no wonder the song became a hit in 2016 and is still played on the radio today.
