The song was written by Andrew Taggart, Ashley Frangipane, Shaun Frank, Freddy Kennett, Isaac Slade and Joe King, while the production was handled by The Chainsmokers. Musically it is an EDM song with a `` retro '' style synthesizer in the chorus. In the United States, `` Closer '' became both The Chainsmokers ' and Halsey 's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. The song stayed at the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks. The Chainsmokers became the first act to have four songs ( `` Closer '' being the fourth ) that top the Dance / Electronic Songs chart, passing Calvin Harris, who held the previous record with three. Outside of the United States, `` Closer '' topped the charts in more than ten countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom, making it both The Chainsmokers ' and Halsey 's first number - one single in all six countries. The song went on to become the first song to spend 26 weeks in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song was performed live for the first time at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2016.

Taggart wrote the song with Canadian DJ Shaun Frank in one session, and Frank encouraged him to sing on the song. According to Taggart, the track was inspired by the Blink - 182 song `` I Miss You '', which the duo were listening to on repeat and is referenced in the song. He later said the song instead was `` Feeling This '', though he could not really remember which : `` I 've listened to their self - titled album so many times the whole thing is pretty much beat, '' he tweeted. The band Taking Back Sunday also influenced the song. Before Halsey was brought on as the female vocalist, it has been suggested that the collaboration was originally suppose to feature former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello, after a demo snippet that featured vocals by Cabello had been discovered in March 2017. After comparisons were drawn between `` Closer '' and The Fray 's `` Over My Head ( Cable Car ) '', lead singer Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King of The Fray were credited as co-writers of `` Closer '' on September 2, 2016. The song was released on July 29, 2016, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records. Composition The song is written in the key of A ♭ major with a common time tempo of 95 beats per minute and a chord progression of D ♭ ( 9 ) -- E ♭ 6 -- Fm7 -- E ♭. The vocals span from E ♭ to B ♭ Critical reception Matt Medved of Billboard wrote the song `` sounds like an instant classic, '' stating that it `` ( boasts ) an earworm chorus and evocative verses like ' play that Blink - 182 song that we beat to death in Tucson, ' `` Closer '' captures the millennial zeitgeist in brilliantly infectious fashion. '' MTV journalist Deepa Lakshmin called the song `` an upbeat, dance - worthy jam that deserves a spot on your summer playlist. It 'll make you forget about all your pesky life problems and live in the moment. '' The song received a more mixed review from Idolator, with a consensus from various editors resulting in a 5 / 10 rating. Billboard ranked `` Closer '' at number 29 on their `` 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016 '' list : `` The year 's longest - running No. 1 on the Hot 100 was as predictable a smash as they come : Perfectly played duet drama, an immediately recognizable hook -- maybe a little too instantly recognizable -- and a Blink - 182 reference that made every Millennial listening nod with begrudging respect. Overplay might 've done The Chainsmokers and Halsey a temporary disservice, but just wait for the emotional rush that hits in 2025 when you 're hanging in a hotel bar and hear this for the first time in years. '' Commercial Performance `` Closer '' became the duo 's fourth song to top Billboard 's Hot Dance / Electronic Songs chart, thereby passing Calvin Harris 's ( pictured ) previous record with three songs. `` Closer '' debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in the issue dated August 20, 2016. It became the third top ten single for The Chainsmokers on the chart, after `` Roses '' and `` Do n't Let Me Down ''. It is Halsey 's first top ten on the chart and her second top forty. In the issue dated September 3, 2016, the song moved from number six to one, becoming both artists ' first number - one song and the first song by a duo to top the chart since Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 's `` Thrift Shop '' and `` Ca n't Hold Us '' in 2013. It is also the first song titled `` Closer '' to reach number one ( Ne - Yo 's song of the same name reached number 7 in 2008 ). Moreover, the song also topped the Dance / Electronic Songs chart, becoming the first song to reach number one on both the Hot 100 and the Dance / Electronic chart simultaneously since Baauer 's `` Harlem Shake '' in early 2013. It became the duo 's fourth number one song to top the latter chart, passing Calvin Harris ' previous record of three songs. It went on to top the Hot 100 chart for twelve consecutive weeks. On the issue date November 5, 2016, `` Closer '' became the 33rd song to top the chart for at least 10 weeks. By spending an 11th week atop the chart, it became the longest number one single of 2016 surpassing Drake 's `` One Dance '' which spent 10 non-consecutive weeks at number one. In its fourth week, the song was joined by Twenty One Pilots ' `` Heathens '', which moved from number three to number two. This marks the first time ( and the third time overall ) that duos have held the top two spots at the same time since June 1985, when Tears for Fears was on top with `` Everybody Wants to Rule the World '' and Wham ! was number two with `` Everything She Wants. '' ( The week before, the two songs were in the opposite order. ) On the chart issue dated November 26, 2016, the song was finally replaced at the top of the Hot 100 by `` Black Beatles '' by Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane.

On the issue dated March 11, 2017, `` Closer '' became the 4th song to stay in the top ten for 30 weeks. Only Leann Rimes ' `` How Do I Live '', Santana 's 1999 single `` Smooth '' ( feat. Rob Thomas ) and Mark Ronson 's `` Uptown Funk '' ( feat. Bruno Mars ) have achieved this feat since the Billboard Hot 100 was formed in 1958. On the issue dated March 25, 2017, `` Closer '' spent its 32nd week in the top ten, tying LeAnn Rimes ' all - time record with `` How Do I Live '', before finally dropping out the following week. `` Closer '' achieved its 12th week atop Digital Songs with 84,000 downloads sold in the week ending October 27, according to Nielsen Music ; the total is the lowest for a number one song on the tally in 10 years. The track became the third best - selling song of the year, behind Flo Rida 's `` My House '' and Justin Timberlake 's `` Ca n't Stop the Feeling ! ''. Internationally, the song reached number one in Australia on August 13, 2016, also becoming both The Chainsmokers ' and Halsey 's first number - one song there. It also peaked at number one in the UK, New Zealand and Canada.
