For those of you who don’t know, The Chainsmokers are the kings of collaborations, and this time they made another banger with the boys of 5 Seconds of Summer! Last week, the duo released the track and it’s already topping charts and dominating airwaves. The new song, titled “Who Do You Love?” includes a mix of emotions, combining sad love song lyrics with a hype dance beat. It’s pretty much the perfect song to scream your heart out to while partying with friends!
It’s very important to me that we remain diverse in the songs we release and the boundaries that we can break for a modern rock band. When We first heard the chorus of “Who Do You Love” We believed it was our chance to collaborate in a way we hadn’t before. It’s out Thursday! X pic.twitter.com/uastMzLNbz

The song features vocals from The Chainsmokers, with Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Michael Clifford all getting verses of their own.
Expressing their emotions about a cheating lover, the band sings, “Who do you love, do you love now? // I wanna know the truth // Who do you love, do you love now? I know it’s someone new.” The lyrics really bring out a melancholy feel to the upbeat tempo of the song.
5SOS have definitely been experimenting with sounds recently, and we love everything they’ve given us so far. The band’s drummer, Ashton Irwin, took to Twitter to express his thoughts and excitement about the collaboration.
