Two weeks ago, The Chainsmokers took to Instagram to share five simple words that lit a fuse in the music industry: "SORRY, THE CHAINSMOKERS ARE BACK."
It remains to be seen whether that fuse lights a stick of dynamite or the typical groans from petulant haters. But it won't be long, since the chart-topping tandem have returned with their first new music in three years.
The Chainsmokers today unveiled the music video for "High," their first original single since 2019's chart-topping World War Joy album. The dance-pop track, which was co-produced by Whethan, kicks off the journey to their upcoming fourth full-length album, tentatively titled TCS4.
"I think we were happy with our last couple albums, but we just didn't feel that those songs were really like living up to what we really thought we were capable of," The Chainsmokers' Drew Taggart told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 in a new interview. "That wasn't honoring of where we thought Chainsmokers could go. And we needed some time to just stop and chill."
