The Chainsmokers take a more personal approach with "Summertime Friends," treating the start of a relationship as the seed of a memory-rooted song. For American DJ duo Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, the song offers insight into the story behind Taggart's relationship with Mari. "Summertime Friends," written by Alex Pall, Andrew Taggart, and Scott Harris and produced by The Chainsmokers, is about the night Taggart and Mari first met.
Taggart wrote the song just a few weeks after he and Mari began spending time together, while he was in New York City working in the studio. That intimacy gives "Summertime Friends" the feel of a memory recorded while it was still fresh. The track gives The Chainsmokers an intimate glimpse of a relationship that clearly became important.
"Summertime Friends" becomes a musical picture of a beginning. It conveys the excitement of meeting someone new, but also the importance of that first meeting, a story of your own, turned into a song that has the warmth of looking back on the place where a relationship started.
