Wake Up Alone

The Chainsmokers' 2016 smash "Closer" spent 32 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Their debut album Memories... Do Not Open, which they released this morning, does not include "Closer," but it does feature a wide array of guest artists, including Coldplay, Florida Georgia Line, and Jhene Aiko.
Aiko is featured on "Wake Up Alone," a pop song with an EDM structure: verse, build-up, and the instrumental-fueled drop. The song is about how success and material wealth cannot protect Aiko from her fear of being alone.
