The Chainsmokers and Halsey team up for a much-needed PSA about dealing with your ex-lover

When Halsey plays Agganis Arena in Boston next week (August 12), chances are some in the crowd will recognize their ex sitting somewhere across the way. Boston’s a small city, this shit happens. It’s unavoidable and inevitable.

Luckily, New York dance duo The Chainsmokers have teamed up with the “New Americana” singer for a very necessary Public Service Announcement on dealing with your ex.

The tl;dr version: Don’t even talk to that person. The extended version: The trio’s dope new track “Closer”, which recently got the lyric video treatment — so the message truly resonates.

The Chainsmokers even break it all down for us in a message to Vanyaland:

1) This is not a love song.

2) We wrote this song about when you see your ex out looking all sexy …you hook up with them, and then right after you remember all the reasons why you hate them.

3) This is Drew’s debut as a lead vocalist on one of our songs, so give up for motherfucking Drew.

Good work, Drew Taggart. And shout out to all Drew’s exes in Syracuse who (probably) inspired this jam. Peep the video below.
