The Chainsmokers on Being Bullied and the Best Advice They Got from Chris Martin

What designers do you wear most often?

Alex: Valentino, Off-White, Stone Island, Saint-Laurent.

Drew: RNA. I also really liked those Etro suits we wore to Clive Davis’s Grammys pre-party.

Did Chris Martin give you any advice about having a lasting career in the music industry?

Drew: Chris is a big picture thinker when it comes to the importance of his songs. He had us think about the story we can tell and what we want people to take away from our music, whether it’s something positive, negative, or real. “Sick Boy” is one of the first songs where we’re channeling what our message from our perspective is going to be.

Alex: SZA is the ultimate.

Drew: She’s such an amazing artist in her own right. “Closer” would not have been the same if we had done it with another artist. Halsey brought so much to that song, not only as a great performer, but as a great personality, too.

Drew: We love the remixes, too. We found our drummer, Matt McGuire, on YouTube doing covers of our songs. Same with our keyboardist. We brought them both on our last U.S. tour and they’ve become permanent staples of our team.

Alex: We make lists of artists that catch our attention and rely on them heavily. There are about 25 remixes of “Sick Boy” already—we’re more grateful for them doing it than anyone else.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. Do you have any music recommendations for setting the mood?

Drew: It depends what kind of vibe you’re going for.

Alex: “Roses”. Or anything by The Weeknd.
