This is even more emphasized in the verses. Imagine the one thing that kept your life going-your dreams-is now something you are stuck in? With all that downward emotion playing on his life every day, he is left with only “sad songs.” When he is performing, he is “stuck” doing the act. He doesn’t know who to trust and feels alone. He implies that all the success he has had has actually made him feel low and sad. In the chorus, he endlessly repeats the phrases “You don’t wanna” followed by an action in his life. I think when most people first listen to the remix, they here the first few lines, cap if for a party song and don’t bother to hear what else Posner is saying. While there is not nearly as much power in the original’s sound (I actually find it a little stiff on the musicality side), what will stick out is the true weight in the lyrics (which don’t really shine through on the remix). If you take a listen to the original you’ll find a slower, acoustic melody compared to the swifter, layered remix. Mike Posner put out the original I Took a Pill in Ibiza on his “At Night, Alone” album and the remix was released by the Norwegian duo Seeb. There is just something to the thrummed synthetic sound that makes me not only move but listen. While I’m sure this song has grown in popularity in clubs, bars, and on your local radio station, it has also managed to stay course and be popular with myself.
