"#Selfie" (stylized in all caps) is a satirical song produced by American DJ duo the Chainsmokers. It was released on January 29, 2014 with Dim Mak Records.

Background and promotion

The Chainsmokers, composed of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, had noticed how the word selfie had become a trend and they wanted to take advantage of it. They made a demo of a song containing a monologue from a female clubber about taking good selfies.{{cite magazine|last=Hyman|first=Dan|title='Harlem Shake' 2.0? '#Selfie' Is Going Viral With Slick Marketing|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/digital-and-mobile/5923140/harlem-shake-20-selfie-is-going-viral-with-slick|magazine=Billboard|accessdate=March 15, 2014|date=March 4, 2014}} Inspiration came from the regular club-going women that the Chainsmokers saw on their nights out in New York City, with one of the goals of the track being to incorporate the line "let me take a selfie." The Chainsmokers described in an interview with The Phoenix New Times,

Honestly, "#Selfie" is kind of a phenomenon for us. We made it and thought it was funny and put it out as an edit. Then Dim Mak wanted to buy it, and they bought it from us and put it out officially and we made a video for it. This was all just because we thought it was fun. And then the song just kind of took on a life of its own. Which is honestly really great because it's brought in a new audience of people that listen to music that we've made that we're more passionate about.{{cite news|last=Savage |first=Amanda |url=http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2014/02/the-chainsmokers-interview-selfie-maya-scottsdale.php |title=The Chainsmokers: 'We Just Try to Mix What's Fun' |work=The Phoenix New Times |date=February 27, 2014 |accessdate=March 10, 2014}}

The duo released the track to their SoundCloud account along with other posts in Vine and Instagram.

Music video

A music video for the song was also released and features actual selfies from Steve Aoki, founder of Dim Mak, Snoop Dogg, David Hasselhoff, Tyler Breeze, A-Trak, The Knocks, and Ian Somerhalder among others.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/5915508/bubbling-under-chainsmokers-get-their-shot-with-selfie |title=Bubbling Under: Chainsmokers Get Their Shot With '#Selfie' |magazine=Billboard|author=Billboard Staff |date=July 2, 2013 |accessdate=March 14, 2014}} Oliver Luckett, CEO of social media marketing firm TheAudience, said that the song is "so on point – it's shit-white-girls-say-meets-a-club-remix". TheAudience introduced the Chainsmokers to Aoki, helped create the "#Selfie" video and released it on January 29, 2014, on YouTube, utilizing the network of celebrities to promote it.{{cite web|author=Canoe inc. |url=http://technology.canoe.ca/News/Features/2014/03/06/21515401.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140314084153/http://technology.canoe.ca/News/Features/2014/03/06/21515401.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=March 14, 2014 |title=Is '#Selfie' set to become the new 'Harlem Shake'? |publisher=Technology.canoe.ca |date=March 6, 2014 |accessdate=March 14, 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.capitalfm.com/music-news/the-chainsmokers-selfie-video/ |title=The Chainsmokers Video '#SELFIE' Taking The UK By Storm – Watch - Music News |publisher=Capital FM |accessdate=March 14, 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/03/13/san-francisco-edges-top-selfies-list/ |title=San Francisco Edges Top 'Selfies' List « CBS San Francisco |date=March 13, 2014 |publisher=Sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com |accessdate=March 14, 2014}} According to Pall, "the video inherently had this viral concept built into it, which certainly helped get it off the ground".{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/03/16/chainsmokers-selfie-goes-viral/6494609/|title=Chainsmokers' '#SELFIE' goes viral|last=Mansfield|first=Brian|date=March 16, 2014|accessdate=March 17, 2014|work=USA Today}}

Composition

"#Selfie" is a big room house song that is predominantly instrumental, though featuring spoken word verses; the uncredited talking female vocals in the song are by Alexis Killacam.{{cite news|url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2014/03/11/the-chainsmokers-paint-by-numbers-virality|title=The Chainsmokers' paint-by-numbers virality|last=Raymar|first=Miles|date=March 11, 2014|accessdate=March 18, 2014|work=Chicago Reader}} The song details a narcissistic young woman at a club, presumably speaking to friends, as she is concerned about taking selfies and uploading them to her Instagram account, while she criticizes other people at the club, including their outfits, in addition to dealing with a guy named Jason with whom she has a love/hate relationship. At the end of each spoken verse, she says "Let me take a selfie".{{cite web|first=Pollo |last=Del Mar |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pollo-del-mar/the-chainsmokers-selfie-g_b_4916820.html |title=The Chainsmokers' Bring Cheeky Smash "#Selfie" to SF March 8 |work=The Huffington Post |date=March 6, 2014 |accessdate=March 10, 2014}} The lyrics make several cultural references, including to Instagram and the Cedric Gervais remix of Lana Del Rey's song, "Summertime Sadness".

Critical reception

The song has been compared to the viral impact of "Harlem Shake" by Baauer. The Chainsmokers explained that one of their initial intentions with "#Selfie" was to re-create the viral impact that "Harlem Shake" had, with the general public taking the song and maybe including their own interpretations along with the beat. The structure of it has drawn comparisons to the 1982 hit "Valley Girl" by Frank Zappa and his daughter, Moon Unit Zappa.{{cite magazine|last=Trust|first=Gary|date=March 11, 2014|title=Chart Moves: Avicii, The Chainsmokers Burn Up Dance Charts; Coldplay Makes 'Magic' On Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs; The Pretty Reckless Rules Mainstream Rock|url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/chart-alert/5937495/chart-moves-avicii-the-chainsmokers-burn-up-dance-charts|magazine=Billboard|accessdate=March 15, 2014}}{{cite web|last=Okano|first=Marisa|title=#SELFIE: The Chainsmokers' 7 Tips For Taking The Perfect One|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/-selfie--the-chainsmokers--7-tips-for-taking-the-perfect-one-201522035.html|website=Yahoo!|date=March 11, 2014|accessdate=March 15, 2014}}
