With the selfie movement making daily news headlines and trending across all major social media networks, and following its official recognition as the Word of the Year 2013 by the Oxford Dictionary and the recently viral sensation Selfie Olympics, The Chainsmokers “#SELFIE” is the definitive track to the global sensation known as the selfie.

With “#SELFIE,” The Chainsmokers stray from their foundations in indie, progressive, and pop music to bring forth an electro anthem featuring a funky, Melbourne bounce bass line and high-energy melody. The track features astonishingly accurate narration from the stereotypical, Instagram selfie-obsessed girl, complete with audacious gossip, self-conscious commentary, and complaints about the club DJ. If anyone ever needed encouragement to take a selfie, this song is just that fix.

The Chainsmokers are the hottest young American DJ/production duo. Their live shows and wild antics are becoming the most sought after in electronic music. On the production front, they’ve had 13 remixes hit #1 on the Hype Machine charts, all of which received hundreds of thousands SoundCloud plays and ongoing support on countless media outlets such as Dancing AstronautElektroEarmilk, and more. They've also been featured on the official podcasts from several top electronic music artists, including AfrojackTiëstoW&WFelix Cartal, and more.

In support of “#SELFIE,” The Chainsmokers have launched the North American#SELFIETOUR, which takes the duo across major clubs and venues, includingWebster Hall in New York, the Toltec Festival in Cancun, Mexico, and various performances at this year’s Miami Music Week.
