Released July 18 via Solotoko, the single finds the duo leaning into deeper, more soulful house territory, while keeping the euphoric hooks that first made them a perfect pairing.
Following Up on Their Breakout Collaboration
Their first link-up, “Somedays,” became a UK Top 10 hit in 2024, earned a BRIT Award nomination, and became a festival favorite across Europe. Jazzy’s now-iconic vocal hook and Fodera’s shimmering production set the tone for what was to come.
“I never knew it was going to be this big… but it just keeps rising and rising,” Sonny Fodera told Official Charts at the time.
“It’s all about finding music that connects — and working with Jazzy is always effortless,” he added in a separate interview with Billboard.

“All This Time”: A Deeper, Moodier Return
“All This Time” slows things down to a mid-tempo groove, mixing UK garage-inflected percussion with Jazzy’s signature bittersweet vocal delivery. While “Somedays” was pure sunshine, this track brings more introspection — late-night, introspective, and built for the club’s closing moments.

Fans are already calling it a future club classic. Early comments highlight the track’s “emotional edge” and “perfect balance between heartbreak and house energy.”
Where They Are Now: Two Careers on Fire
-
Sonny Fodera continues to dominate house music with headline slots at festivals like Creamfields and Tomorrowland, and a growing discography of crossover club hits. His “Mind Still” reached over 15M streams in 2024 alone.
-
Jazzy remains one of Ireland’s brightest exports, riding the momentum of “Giving Me” (No. 3 UK) as well as recent singles “High On Me,” “No Bad Vibes,” and “Closer To The Floor.” She is expanding her solo career with new collaborations across house, garage, and UK bass.
Together, they seem to capture the perfect storm of radio appeal and underground credibility.
🔮 Final Word
If “Somedays” was the sun coming up, “All This Time” is what plays as you leave the club alone — a little wiser, a little sadder, but ready to dance again.
Both artists continue to evolve — and together, they seem unstoppable.
It’s official: The Chainsmokers are back. After what felt like ages (almost two years, to be precise), the duo behind some of the biggest EDM-pop crossovers of the last decade dropped a brand-new track on July 11th called “White Wine & Adderall.” And honestly? It might just be their most intriguing release yet.
From Hiatus to Headliners Again
If you’ve been following Alex Pall and Drew Taggart for a while, you’ll know they went pretty quiet back in 2020. They announced a break from social media, stepped away from the constant grind of releases, and took time to figure out their next chapter—both creatively and personally.
During this hiatus, they dabbled in a few special projects (like a charity show here, a movie soundtrack there) but mostly kept a low profile. That said, they weren’t totally off the grid. Over the past couple of years, they’ve been slowly teasing their comeback through carefully chosen remixes.
First came their emotional rework of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” in early 2022, followed by a surprise remix this past April of Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club”—both signaling a return to a more delicate, introspective production style. And let’s not forget their dreamy remix of Charli XCX’s cult favorite “Party 4 U,” which landed somewhere between dancefloor euphoria and nostalgic heartbreak. These remixes didn’t feel random; they felt like puzzle pieces hinting at where The Chainsmokers might be headed next.
Why “White Wine & Adderall” Feels Different
Now comes “White Wine & Adderall.” It’s not just another remix; this is a fully original track — their first since teaming up with Kim Petras on “Don’t Lie” in late 2024. And this one hits differently. The Chainsmokers have teamed up with Beau Nox, a talented multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Rotterdam, for a track that’s somewhere between dancefloor-ready and deeply introspective.
Think jittery UK garage percussion, low-end bass you can feel in your chest, and lyrics that capture those hazy, confusing nights where you’re not quite sure if you’re chasing love or running from yourself. Drew Taggart even admitted this wasn’t a song they had planned to release—until fans reacted so strongly to it during their recent live shows in Asia.
Critics Are Already Buzzing
The early reception to “White Wine & Adderall” has been overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising The Chainsmokers for not just picking up where they left off—but for pushing themselves into deeper, moodier territory.
“This might be The Chainsmokers’ most emotionally grounded track yet—part late-night confession, part club catharsis.” — Dancing Astronaut
“They’ve finally moved past the frat-party anthems. ‘White Wine & Adderall’ shows maturity without losing the hooks that made them famous.” — Pitchfork (Editor’s Picks)
“Rotterdam’s Beau Nox brings a quiet intensity to the track, grounding its UK garage elements in something far more intimate and human.” — Billboard
Fans are noticing too. Early reactions on social media describe it as “perfect late-night driving music” and “a Chainsmokers song I didn’t realize I needed until now.”
The Sound of a New Chapter
If you’re wondering where this leaves The Chainsmokers stylistically… well, it’s somewhere fresh. The emotional pop elements are still there, but this new track hints at something moodier, clubbier, and more influenced by the UK electronic scene than their usual festival anthems. It’s a cool evolution and feels like a natural next step after the more introspective tone of their No Hard Feelings EP.
Those recent remixes? Looking back, they weren’t just warm-up exercises—they were breadcrumbs. A way to reconnect with dance music’s emotional core, while reminding listeners that The Chainsmokers can still surprise us.
What’s Next?
“White Wine & Adderall” already feels like the start of something bigger. With playlists lighting up and critics taking notice, it’s safe to say The Chainsmokers aren’t just dipping their toes back in—they’re ready to dive into a whole new era.
If this is what their comeback sounds like, we’re more than ready for what’s next.

3. The Chainsmokers, Beau Nox – “White Wine & Adderall”
Coming off their reflective “fresh chapter,” The Chainsmokers collaborate with Dutch vocalist Beau Nox on “White Wine & Adderall.” This dark UKG-inspired single explores late-night emotional turbulence with haunting vocals and jittery percussion—a bold departure from their previous radio-friendly sound.
4. TELYKAST x Oaks – “Super Powers”
Los Angeles duo TELYKAST teams up with singer-songwriter Oaks on “Super Powers,” a euphoric progressive house anthem released via Armada Music. The second single from their duo, this track continues their feel-good dance narrative and follows their recent success opening for Martin Garrix.
