The Chainsmokers have released "Take What You Need," their second single since going independent in October. It comes four weeks after "Baby," and the duo have tied the two songs together. "We made a friend for Baby," they wrote on November 12. "The story continues."
On the cover of "Baby," a white moth sits in the middle of a spider's web. The new cover has a second white moth, resting on the fingertip of an outstretched hand.
The duo teased it on November 3, in the video wrapping up their fall tour, captioned "It's time for something new." On November 11 they posted Drew Taggart singing it on a dry hillside. No featured vocalist is credited.
Both singles came out under Secondhand Happiness, the company that has held the copyright on The Chainsmokers' own releases since 2023. Until they left Columbia and Disruptor Records in October, it licensed those records to the two labels.
They've spent the same weeks looking back. On November 4 they marked 10 years of "Collage", and on November 10 they posted a clip set to their 2016 single "All We Know," captioned "getting nostalgic."
When they announced the label split, they told fans, "we know we owe you some records!" Four weeks later, they've released two singles.
