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.
Last Day Alive
The Chainsmokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Bottled up in adolescence
Bottom up forbidden essence
Twisted up in adolescence
Waking up within your arms
You're dangerous, we're dangerous
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Promises within the air
Drowning in love affair
The night is young and we are young
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
The last day alive
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never
The last day alive
The last day alive
The last day alive
The Chainsmokers and Florida Georgia Line's "Last Day Alive" is a song about enjoying life to the fullest and not taking anything for granted. The chorus repeats the line "Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never, always and forever the last day alive" as a reminder to live in the moment and make the most of each day. The lyrics also touch on the intensity and excitement of young love, describing the feeling of being "twisted up in adolescence" and "drowning in love affair".
The verse "Bottled up in adolescence, bottom up forbidden essence" seems to suggest the idea of youth experimenting with alcohol to cope with the difficulties of growing up. The repetition of "now or never" in the chorus emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities while they are still available. The song encourages listeners to let go of their fears and embrace the thrill of living, even if only for one day.
