The Chainsmokers are channeling their inner saboteurs with their brand new single, "Self Destruction Mode."

With haunting vocals from indie-pop singer-songwriter bludnymph," Self Destruction Mode" is a captivating cry for help. The song's introspective lyrics delve deep into the dark corners of the mind, exploring the linkage of egoism and futility. And isn't that fitting in today's hellscape of a music ecosystem, wherein we all eternally teeter on the brink of existential dread?

"I love my sins, they're all I know," belts a hypnotic bludnymph, whose powerful topline is an ode to maladaptive coping mechanisms.

Recently teasing "Self Destruction Mode" on social media, The Chainsmokers said they "haven't written a song like this since 'Don't Let Me Down.'" That track, of course, was a breakthrough for the duo, becoming their first top-five single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and winning a Grammy Award back in 2016.
