The Chainsmokers Ipad

Initially teased at the end of The Chainsmokers’ performance of their previous single “High” at One Vanderbilt’s SUMMIT in New York City, “iPad” is the second single from The Chainsmokers’ upcoming fourth studio album.

Speaking on the song in an Instagram post prior to the song’s release, Drew Taggart said the song served as a journal for him, letting him express his feelings of isolation. This personal nature is reflected in the fact that “iPad” only has two songwriters: the members of The Chainsmokers themselves.

Speaking on the song in an Instagram post the day prior to the song’s release, The Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart said:

We wrote this song when i felt like i didn’t have anyone to talk to. it wasn’t that i didn’t have anyone that would listen, but i had reached a level of cognitive dissonance that i felt was unexplainable. don’t keep a journal so writing this song and the others on this album (and past albums) is my opportunity to organize my thoughts. if you listened to Sick Boy you know what i mean 😉 we feel really lucky we get to do it in song form and that you are willing to listen. it’s helped us a lot, so thank you. the next bit of the story is called iPad and it comes out tonight. thanks for being here.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I go through your iPad looking for
Something that I used to have
Guess I finally lost my mind (Lost my mind)
I wish that I could take my number back
Go back to the place we met
Start this up a second time (A second time)
You’re living in a past life, twenty-five
All your friends are verified
Acting like they’re first in line
I’m looking at your life through cellophane
Hoping things would stay the same
I was always by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn’t it strange?
How we’re strangers again
Isn’t it strange?
How we’re strangers again

[Chorus]
And now we’re strangers again
And now we’re strangers again

[Post-Chorus]
You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can’t define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me ’til I feel alive

[Verse 2]
I wonder who your friends are
Where you go, who you know now?
You play the same card
Swear to God, do you call him?

[Pre-Chorus]
Isn’t it strange?
How we’re strangers again

[Chorus]
And now we’re strangers again
And now we’re strangers again
(Now we’re strangers, now we’re strangers)
(Now we’re strangers, now we’re strangers)

[Post-Chorus]
You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can’t define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me ’til I feel alive

[Verse 3]
Isn’t it strange how we’re strangers again?
Now both of us know we were better as friends
When it all, yeah, when it all falls apart
Sometimes you let go, just to know where to start

[Bridge]
(I go through your iPad looking for, and now we’re)
Something that I used to have
(I go through your iPad looking for, and now we’re)
Something that I used to have
(I go through your iPad looking for, and now we’re)
Something that I used to have
(I go through your iPad looking for)

[Chorus]
And now we’re strangers again
Something that I used to have

[Post-Chorus]
You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can’t define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me ’til I feel alive
