Andrew “Drew” Taggartis getting candid with fans about his habits.
The Chainsmokersmusician, 33, shared a video of him playing the piano to the group’s latest single with bludnymph, “Self Destruction Mode” — and explained its significance in the caption:
“I’ve struggled withdrinkingthroughout my career as it’san addictionthat’s woven into the environment we exist in,” Taggart wrote.
“This guilt of not being good enough or not being better ironically sends me into a spiral that restarts my bad habit cycle,” he continued.
“This song isn’t a cry for help but more of an embrace or celebration of all that I am.”
Concluding the post, he wrote, “I know that I’m flawed. I know that I am great and so are you. Never forget it.”
“Self Destruction Mode” — released earlier this month — appeared to delve deeper into Taggart’s personal struggles, shedding light on a topic previously unaddressed with his fans.
The lyrics include a string of haunting words, “I woke up in self-destruction mode / I press go and I do it again / I love my sins, they’re all I know / We got closer than all of my friends.”
The song comes after a few romantic up-and-downs for the musician, whosplit from DJ Chantel Jeffries in 2021and model Eve Jobs earlier this year. He spent time withSelena Gomezafter thetwo were spotted at a bowling alley.
