“You said, ‘ hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?’
And I said ‘ I don’t even know what I'm doing tonight’
Went from one conversation to your lips on mine
And you said, ‘ I never regretted the day that I called you mine
So I call you mine
Can I call you mine?”

Even though they were the face of the internet and started gaining popularity still were being hated by many around and the unwelcoming industry which gave them a hard time despite their hard work and dedication.

I’m gonna love you inside out.”
The Chainsmokers are gushing out the emotions with these lyrics.
17. Paris
Next on the list of Chainsmokers Songs is Paris. It was released in the year 2017 in the album Paris.
A slow song that showcases the emotion of wanting to run away to a place where everything seems okay. You go there and seek temporary happiness. This is more like a comparison to the state of you wanting to hold onto a relationship that is falling apart.
Paris has always been a place to visit for the most so the place has been portrayed here as that place you want to escape to.

Selfie song was released in 2014, it was a breakthrough song for the Chainsmokers. It is from the album The Duff and is one of the best Chainsmokers Songs.
As the title suggests, this song is also as simple as that just about selfie obsession. Capturing all the moments, getting to see yourself and capture those happy faces, which was an obsession and was hard to overcome and it took a while to normalize.
