The Chainsmokers are a New York City based EDM duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. This bouncy party track was initially released as a free download, but got the attention of Dim Mak Records, which issued it on January 28, 2014. The duo ended up on Columbia Records, where they became a top act, scoring huge hits in 2016 with "Don't Let Me Down" and "Closer."
A "Selfie" is a self-portrait photograph, which is normally taken with a digital camera or camera phone. By the end of 2013 "Selfie" had become such a buzzword that it was chosen by The Oxford Dictionary as their "Word of the Year." The Chainsmokers said: "The classic #Selfie, well it pretty much defines 2013… when VH1 does remember the '90s the Selfie will deserve its own section."
The song features uncredited vocals by Alexis Killacam, who according to The Chainsmokers nailed it "all in one take."
