In 2015, they issued the Bouquet EP on Disruptor Records, a softer and more indie-flavored effort that featured the single "Roses," which was certified double-platinum and hit number one on the Top Dance Songs chart. The song also earned the Chainsmokers nominations for the Billboard Music Awards in the Top Dance/Electronic Artist and Top Dance/Electronic Song categories. After playing over 300 shows in 2015, including dates at festivals like Lollapalooza, Firefly, Tomorrowland, and Ultra, the duo returned in 2016 with the platinum-certified "Don't Let Me Down," a collaboration with Pittsburgh pop singer Daya that topped the Billboard dance chart and would later win a Grammy. That year, the Chainsmokers also performed as part of the Tilt Tour, the first ever fan-sourced tour. In addition, Pall and Taggart host two SiriusXM shows: Nice Hair, a monthly mix; and the weekly YouTube EDM 15.
The follow-up single to "Don't Let Me Down" would carry the duo to new heights. Featuring Halsey on vocals, "Closer" began its slow climb to the top of the singles chart in the summer of 2016. Once it hit number one, it remained in the top spot for over ten weeks, breaking the record previously held by Drake's "One Dance." As their chart dominance continued, they released the Collage EP, which joined their two Top Three singles with new collaborations featuring Phoebe Ryan, XYLØ, and Charlee. Their debut record, Memories: Do Not Open, arrived in 2017. Featuring guests Emily Warren, Jhene Aiko, Florida Georgia Line, and hit singles "Paris" and the Coldplay collaboration "Something Just Like This," Memories debuted at the top of the Billboard chart. At the start of 2018, the pair veered in a more contemplative and lyrical direction with the single "Sick Boy," which landed on the EP of the same name. Sick Boy debuted on the Billboard 200 just outside the Top 50.

The Chainsmokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know water that's thicker than love
That's deeper than love with my friends
People come and some people go, and
Some people ride 'til the end
When I am blind in my mind
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters, in my life
Yeah
I know some people, they would die for me
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me
I'll say forever my family
My family
I'll say forever my family
My family
I'll say forever my family
Stolen dreams took our, our childish days
Still ain't nothin' changed, now we're grown
We're still young, still got our mindless ways
And our timeless phase, kickin' songs
When I am blind in my mind
I swear they be my rescue, my lifeline
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters, in my life
Yeah
I know some people, they would die for me (die for me)
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me (gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever my family
Family (yeah)
I'll say forever my family
My family
I'll say forever my family
I know some people, they would die for me (die for me)
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me (gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever my family
The song "Family" by The Chainsmokers and Kygo is an emotional tribute to the importance of the people we choose to surround ourselves with. The lyrics emphasize the value of one's family and friends, the people who share our struggles and joys and who are always there to offer their support when needed. The first verse sets the tone by declaring that true friendship is something that can be even deeper than love. The song's narrator acknowledges that while people come and go from our lives, true friends are those who stay with us through thick and thin.
The chorus builds on this theme by declaring the importance of the singer's family, the people who will "be high with me" when he rises and helps him survive when he falls. The second verse emphasizes a sense of nostalgia and the idea that sometimes the people who knew us when we were young are the ones who we can really depend on in life. The lyrics describe the timeless bond that exists between people who have grown up together, and how this bond helps them to continue to grow and thrive as they get older.
Overall, the message of "Family" is clear: the people we choose to surround ourselves with are the ones who make life worthwhile. The song celebrates the power of friendship and the way that the people we love can change our lives forever.

Família (part. Kygo)
Eu sei que a água é mais espessa que o sangue
Isso é mais profundo do que o amor com meus amigos
As pessoas vêm e algumas pessoas vão
E algumas pessoas vão até o fim
Quando estou cego na minha mente
Eu juro que eles seriam meu resgate, minha salvação
Eu não sei o que faria, se eu sobrevivesse
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs na minha vida, sim
Conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim
Nós fugimos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Nossos sonhos roubados levaram nossas, nossas infâncias
Não mudou nada ainda, agora estamos crescidos
Ainda somos jovens, ainda temos nossos modos irracionais
Em uma fase atemporal, chutando pedras
Quando estou cego, na minha mente
Eu juro que eles seriam meu resgate, minha salvação
Eu não sei o que faria, se eu sobrevivesse
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs na minha vida, sim
Eu conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim (morreriam por mim)
Nós fugimos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo (vão às alturas comigo, sim)
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Eu conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim (morreriam por mim)
Nós corremos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo (vão às alturas comigo, sim)
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Avicii gave so many talents to this world
He introduced sandro cavazza
He gave rory karmer
He inspired kygo
He gave chance to many struggling artists he set thier careers too
He made so many hits with those who were struggling to find platform rather than using popular artists
He found real talented people like aloe blacc,zac brown band,dan tymityminski and many others
@sert1far716
So trueee!
@maksymiliannowakowski6256

Kygo never fails to release music at the right time.... I was in between leaving this really good job for a company that’s hard to get into for a medical job. I was torn between what to do because I didn’t have a full backup plan yet, but the people who supported me the most were my family 💚 Thank you Kygo for this song
