The Chainsmokers have joined Taylor Swift to release a club-ready remix of her smash hit, “The Fate of Ophelia”.
The “Fate of Ophelia (The Chainsmokers Remix)” is available to download on iTunes and Amazon Music via Swift’s online store, and comes as the original version spends its seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Swift’s team writes that the new version is “wrapping around us like a chain, a crown, a vine,” quoting some of the lyrics.
The Chainsmokers most recently released their latest EP, Breathe. The duo of Alex Pall and Drew Taggar said that the EP “serves as a reminder to pause amid our chaotic world, which feels appropriate for a duo that’s spent the better part of a decade sprinting from festival stages to Grammy podiums to venture capital boardrooms. The project argues that we chase highs because the lows feel unbearable, forgetting that neither state was meant to be permanent.”
Pall and Taggart added: “When we looked at the names of the songs on this EP, they all had something in common with the word ‘breathe.’ Beyond that, the word serves as a reminder to take a second to pause when faced with the demands of our chaotic world. The group of songs feels like a step on a path to somewhere. We aren’t sure where yet. But these 8 songs belong together and will allow us to move on to what’s next.”
Breathe served as The Chainsmokers’ first project since 2024’s No Hard Feelings, and features the previously-released tracks “Smooth,” “White Wine & Adderall,” “Helium” and “Spaces”. Stream ‘Breathe’ – HERE.
