Surprise! The Chainsmokers Are Actually Vampires In Their ‘You Owe Me’ Video

Here’s a professional tip: If The Chainsmokers ever invite you to dinner, mention no. Unless, certainly, you aspire to be the victim of a bloody, vampiric massacre. Then you could mention yes.


On Friday (February 16), the duo dropped “You Owe Me,” a surprisingly muted jam that sounds more alt-pop than EDM (in other words, you’re gonna be waiting a long time for the drop). “You don't know me / Don't you think that I get lonely? / It gets dark indoor my head / Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me,” Drew Taggart sings.


In the accompanying video, directed by Rory Kramer, Alex Pall along with a stone-faced Taggart wear preppy polos while meticulously cleaning every inch of their mansion. It turns out they’re prepping for an intimate dinner party, however any time their visitors arrive, things take a shockingly bloody turn. So, yeah, go ahead and refuse that meal invite.


“You Owe Me” follows the duo’s Twenty One Pilots-sounding January single, “Sick Boy.” All signs point to the ‘Smokers aiming for a darker tone with their new music, so it looks like the days of starry-eyed bangers like “Closer” and “Something Just Like This” are in back of us.
