All We Know

The Chainsmokers

Mid-tempo future bass defined by muted acoustic guitars and breathy dual vocals. A bittersweet snapshot of a relationship holding on through the quiet hours.

All We Know represents the peak of the mid-2010s shift where EDM began to trade massive festival drops for intimate, bedroom-oriented pop sensibilities. It sounds like the cooling embers of a summer night, trading the frantic energy of a dance floor for the reflective silence of a car ride home. The production is remarkably clean, using space and silence as much as it uses its signature side-chained synthesizers. The inclusion of Phoebe Ryan provides a necessary counterpoint to Andrew Taggart's vocals, creating a dialogue that feels both personal and universal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment Phoebe Ryan's breathy vocal enters, perfectly harmonizing with the lower-register male lead during the second verse.
The transition from the organic acoustic guitar intro into the side-chained synth swell of the first drop.
The final thirty seconds where the beat strips back, leaving only the vocal hook and a faint electronic pulse.
