Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally released as a free digital download, this novelty electro-house track quickly evolved into a massive, highly polarizing viral sensation. The song features a thumping Melbourne Bounce beat set against a vapid, spoken-word monologue from a narcissistic club-goer taking photos of herself in the bathroom. It provided The Chainsmokers with their initial commercial breakthrough, though they would later pivot sharply away from its comedic style.
