After a two-month absence, the 2016 EDM-pop crossover is back across the global charts, tracked on 82 country and platform charts today. The song pairs Andrew Taggart's first lead vocal for the duo with Halsey — a duet structure unusual for a dance-radio hit, built around a call-and-response about a doomed reunion. It became a defining commercial peak for both acts, spending twelve weeks atop the Hot 100 and, per Spotify, accumulating well over three billion streams. The Chainsmokers have a return run through India booked for 2026, per FlickOnClick, keeping the catalog in circulation. Its half-sung hook and looping synth line remain the template much of late-2010s festival pop was cut from.
