Best Bit-At 0.32.You can’t please everyone.Ibiza’s tourism officials were annoyed as they felt the songs lyrics contributed to the islands reputation for drug related debauchery. As a result Mike Posner was invited to the island to discover how much more it had to offer as a destination, apart from it’s nightlife.

Mike Posner was in a Ibiza nightclub with his friend Avicii (1989-2018,) (see also best songs 123,) when he was recognised by a fan, who offered him a pill, Posner who was depressed at the time accepted it.Posner had great success with songs such as ‘Cooler Than Me,’ and ‘Please Don’t Go,’ back in 2010, but had realised that fame was not all it was cracked up to be, and although only in his mid 20’s, perhaps his career was already over.

Posner wrote this song as a Folk/Pop song, originally releasing it in April, 2015, on his EP ‘The Truth.’ The Norwegian music producers Simen Eriksrud, and Espen Berg,better known as ‘SeeB’ got to hear the track, and set about remixing it in the ‘Tropical House’ genre.Ironically a song about falling from a great height, and nearly hitting the bottom, put Mike Posner right back at the top of the tree.

‘I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool.’
