The Chainsmokers have released the video for their new single, “iPad,” directed by Kid Studio. The clip finds band member Drew Taggart wandering through the streets of New York City as he ponders his emotions after ending an unhealthy relationship.

Taggart said in a statement:  “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anyone that would listen, but I had reached a level of cognitive dissonance that I felt was unexplainable. I don’t keep a journal so writing this song and the others on this album (and past albums) is my opportunity to organize my thoughts.”

“iPad” follows the release of the band’s recent single, “High,” which both appear on the Chainsmokers’ as-yet-untitled fourth album.   Take a look at the video for iPad – here.

I’m always in search of some evidence that will convince me that there is more to come – that life is truly eternal in some sense. Having yet to find that, I try to at least dream of what conquering death would feel like in a song.”

The band’s latest single, “Enemy,” has topped the Alternative Radio chart for the past five weeks. “Enemy” has racked up more than 1.24 billion combined global streams across two versions (including a collaboration with East Atlanta-based rapper J.I.D).
