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.
My Type
The Chainsmokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I won't even mention the fact that you're never sober
I never know which side I'm gonna get tonight
And the closer we get, the less I think I know you
But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
And I'm foolin' myself, 'cause I know that I'll never change ya
But you told me the truth, so I guess I can't really blame ya
No, you're not the one, but you're all I want, yeah
People say I'll get hurt, I don't know what they're so afraid of
But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you're just my type (oh, I hate to say it, but you're)
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type
My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type
The lyrics to The Chainsmokers' "My Type" describe a complicated relationship that is not very stable. The singer knows that their significant other is not going to stay over, and they also know that this person is not going to be sober. The singer is beginning to realize that they do not know their partner as well as they thought they did. However, the singer can't help but feel drawn to this person, even if they are not a good fit for them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "you're just my type," which could mean that the singer has a history of dating people who are not good for them. The singer seems to be aware of this, but they can't help but be attracted to this person. Despite the fact that their relationship is not stable, the singer is willing to go along with it because they feel a connection with this person that they can't explain.
Overall, the lyrics to this song explore the complexity of relationships and the idea that sometimes we are attracted to people who are not good for us. It is a relatable theme and is delivered through catchy lyrics that are sure to get stuck in your head.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't gotta say it, I know you ain't stayin' over
You don't have to tell me that you're not planning to stay the night
And I won't even mention the fact that you're never sober
I won't bring up the fact that you're always drunk or high
I never know which side I'm gonna get tonight
I can't predict which version of you I'll get to see tonight
And the closer we get, the less I think I know you
As we become more intimate, I feel like I know less about you
But you're just my type
Despite all this, you are the type of person I find myself drawn to
The kind that only calls me late at night
You are the kind of person who only contacts me when it's late
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
You can't make up your mind on whether we are together or not
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
As much as I don't want to admit it, you fit the profile of the kind of person I am attracted to
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
You fit my ideal standard, whether I like it or not
And I'm foolin' myself, 'cause I know that I'll never change ya
I am deluding myself into believing that I can change you, even though I know I can't
But you told me the truth, so I guess I can't really blame ya
You have been honest with me, so I shouldn't be angry or disappointed
No, you're not the one, but you're all I want, yeah
You may not be the one, but you are all I desire at the moment
People say I'll get hurt, I don't know what they're so afraid of
Others warn me that I will get hurt, but I don't know why they are so fearful
Yeah, you're just my type (oh, I hate to say it, but you're)
You are exactly what I am looking for, even if I don't want to admit it
My type
You embody all the qualities that I desire
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type
As much as I hate to acknowledge it, you fit the bill of what I want
