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.

(So why don't you just stay a little longer?)
The Chainsmokers’s song “It Won’t Kill Ya” is about two people who meet at a party and the singer tries to convince the other person to stay a little while longer and dance with them. The singer is aware that the other person may end up with someone else at the party as the night goes on, which is why they struggle to speak up and ask them to stay. The lyrics contain a sense of longing and yearning for the other person's attention, with the singer wanting to get to know them better.
Throughout the song, the singer sends mixed signals to the other person. They are hesitant to speak up and express their feelings, but at the same time, they ask the other person to dance with them, suggesting that there is some interest there. The singer is aware that they may not have much time left with this person, hence the repeated line, “Don't know how much time is left.”
The chorus contains the repeated line “dance with me, it won't kill ya,” which could be interpreted as the singer trying to convince the other person that they shouldn't be afraid to take a chance on them. The French phrase “mon amour” is also used in the song, translating to “my love,” further emphasizing the singer's feelings towards the other person.
