Then when I came down I felt 10 years older.” He holds up this little bag of pills and is like, ‘You want one?’ And drunk Mike Posner was like, ‘Fuck it, yeah.’ So I took one and I had never done that before, and I felt amazing. He was like, ‘Are you Mike Posner?’ and he was all excited. And most people didn’t know who the fuck I was in Ibiza except for this one guy who recognized me. I would go back and forth between the backstage and the VIP area and then where the actual kids were. I just sort of moseyed out into the audience to watch Avicii spin from their point of view. We were at his show and I was drinking at the time. I don’t have like a regular 9–5 job … so might as well go to Ibiza, right? I had never been there before. I had written a song with Avicii that week in Sweden called “Stay with You” and he was playing in Ibiza so I said, ‘I will just go there with you,’ because I was already in Europe. I was already under the influence of alcohol at the time. Like Outkast’s “Hey Ya” or Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” it’s one of those songs whose sound and lyrics are completely in contrast to each other, and if you only listen to the sound you miss that the lyrics go in an entirely different direction. It’s a similar story to Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and its remix. It’s ironic that a song about the sad emptiness of music industry fame became so much more successful when dressed up in the clothes of a big-house EDM festival smasher. The SeeBs remix, which morphs the song into something you might actually hear at an Ibiza club, blew up even harder than the original. Posner’s guitar driven original and SeeBs remixed version of the song both appear on his sophomore album, At Night, Alone.

Musically, he demonstrates a new, Americana acoustic style, a pivot from his sound on previous songs, like “Cooler Than Me.”

In “I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” Posner reflects on his career as a musician, specifically the rise-and-fall cycle of his fame.
