Songfacts®:

  • "Addicted" is a floor-filling collaboration between The Chainsmokers and Brazilian DJ/producer ZERB. The song fuses ZERB's signature Brazilian house with The Chainsmokers' pop sensibilities.
  • Georgia singer-songwriter Atia "Ink" Boggs delivers the vocals. She unleashes her inner party animal, belting out lyrics full of braggadocio and playful seduction.
  • Ink is no stranger to writing smashes. She co-penned several of Beyoncé's Renaissance and Cowboy Carter tracks and helped Lay Bankz write her breakthrough single, "Tell Ur Girlfriend."
  • Ink improvised her vocals through a 15-minute nonstop freestyle. "It was incredible," said Alex Pall of The Chainsmokers. "It took us days to whittle it down into the best parts of the song."
  • "Addicted" was released on March 29, 2024, as the lead single from Chainsmokers' No Hard Feelings EP. It marked a triumphant return to the UK Singles chart for the duo, their first entry since "Takeaway" reached #64 in 2019.
