Drew Taggart got candid about how his alcohol addiction has affected his life over the years.
The Chainsmokers performer, 33, took to social media on Wednesday, June 14, to share a video of himself playing the group’s recent single “Self Destruction Mode,” describing its meaning in the caption.
“I’ve struggled with drinking throughout my career as it’s an addiction that’s woven into the environment we exist in,” Taggart, who collaborates with Alex Pall, wrote via Instagram. “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. i know that im flawed. i know that i am great and so are you. Never forget it.”
The song, which was released by The Chainsmokers and performer Bludnymph earlier this month, seemed to further touch on Taggart’s personal battle in the lyrics. (The Maine native had not publicly discussed his struggle with drinking before.)
“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 chorus begins.
Taggart originally rose to fame after forming The Chainsmokers with Pall, 38, in 2012. The production duo started out by releasing remixes of songs before releasing their own work. Taggart and Pall have gone on to win a Grammy award.
The pair made headlines earlier this year when they revealed they have had multiple threesomes due to their band’s popularity.
“I think we were like, ‘What the f—k just happened?’ Because they were never planned,” Pall shared during a joint appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in January. “It’s weird, I’m not going to lie.”

Dan Rather isn’t often rendered speechless. The TV news icon is always quick with a quip or a turn of phrase. There’s even a word for them: “Ratherisms.” Anyone who ever watched the anchor during a live news event knows them well; things like, “This race is tight — like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach.” But on this mild March afternoon in Austin, Texas, Rather is rather tongue-tied. The producers and director behind the upcoming documentary “Rather” have just screened the completed film for the former anchor and his family and friends. Turns out it’s not easy to articulate what it’s like to witness the span and scope of your life’s work on the big screen.
