The Chainsmokers High

The first new release from The Chainsmokers in over two years, following the release of their third studio album, World War Joy, in December 2019, “High” is the lead single from The Chainsmokers’ currently untitled, upcoming fourth studio album.

The Chainsmokers first announced the release of this track in an Instagram post on January 6, 2022. The post also announced the completion of their fourth album, as the caption of the post said, “#TCS4”. Snippets of the track were teased on a video of their return called SORRY, THE CHAINSMOKERS ARE BACK, in which the song can be heard throughout the dialogue and at the end.

Stylistically, the song is a departure from the duo’s previous sound, incorporating elements of hip-hop and R&B into their signature EDM-pop sound.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Woah, oh
So far, so good
Mmm, oh, yep

[Chorus]
Why? You only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does
Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does

[Verse 1]
Tell me that you’re gonna change, then act like this instead
I’m too old to want somebody who’s always switching up their friends
I can’t make you love me, but at least you could pretend
Scrips gonna lead to fifths until I’m fucked out of my head

[Pre-Chorus]
You play the same old songs
I know that you’re different in your Air Force 1s
Filling my prescription, I could bite your tongue
Like I got an addiction, yeah
You always say that shit’s gonna change, but it never does

[Chorus]
Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does
Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does

[Verse 2]
I know it’s my fault, I pick up your phone calls
When it’s half-past one, and you’re halfway drunk
You say you love me, and it sounds so dumb
But you’re the only one I can’t run away from

[Pre-Chorus]
The same old songs
I know that you’re different in your Air Force 1’s
Filling my prescription, I could bite your tongue
Like I got an addiction, yeah
You always say that shit’s gonna change, but it never does

[Chorus]
Why? You only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does
Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high
It’s like we go through the same shit every night
Oh, why? Oh, why?
You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does

[Outro]
(You’ll only say you love me when you’re h-h-h-, it never does)
You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does
