Paris


"Paris" by The Chainsmokers is an electronic pop track released in January 2017 as the lead single from their debut album Memories...Do Not Open. Featuring vocals by Emily Warren, it served as the follow-up radio single to "Closer." For electric guitarists, it offers an accessible entry point into contemporary pop production, with melodic lead lines and chord progressions that translate cleanly from synth-driven arrangements to guitar.

  • "Paris" was released on January 13, 2017, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records, reaching Top 40 radio days later.
  • Vocals on the track were performed by singer-songwriter Emily Warren, though she went uncredited on the official release.
  • The song followed "Closer" as a radio single, giving The Chainsmokers back-to-back major hits from their debut album.
