Closer (The Chainsmokers song)
"Closer" is a song by American DJ duo the Chainsmokers featuring American singer Halsey. Andrew Taggart also provides his vocals in the song, which was a first. It was released on July 29, 2016, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records. The song was written by Taggart, Halsey, Shaun Frank, Freddy Kennett, Isaac Slade and Joe King. Halsey's vocals were produced by DJ Swivel, while the main song production was handled by the Chainsmokers as usual. Musically, it is a future bass and pop song with a "retro" style synthesizer in the chorus. Taggart and Halsey take turns singing their parts before singing the chorus together as the song concludes.
Calvin Harris (pictured) had three songs that topped Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart; "Closer" became the Chainsmoker's fourth song to do so and break the record.
