• Chainsmokers tweeted the definition for 'Paris':
"1: A sentimental yearning for a reality that isn't genuine.
2: An irrecoverable condition for fantasy that evokes nostalgia or day dreams."

The Chainsmokers explained that over the course of living in
this fantasy world with his girlfriend, the two lovers were
"thinking life was great and they were just down for each other thinking they were
living in this wonderful day dream of a life. But in reality their lives were falling
apart as well as the people around them."
"But the song in a more general sense is about those times when you are one place
in one situation but imagine you are somewhere else. Like those times you were
laying in bed staring at the ceiling dreaming up a different situation."
