The Chainsmokers and Beau Nox Drop New “White Wine & Adderall”

The Chainsmokers have been known to chase emotional highs and festival euphoria in equal measure, but with their latest release, “White Wine & Adderall”, the duo sinks into something far more introspective—and it hits different. Teaming up with rising vocalist Beau Nox, the track feels like a late-night confession dressed in neon melancholy.

It opens in freefall. Nox’s voice lands like a gut punch: “I know that you think I’m useless,” he sings, surrounded by a haze of ambient synths that stretch like fog over city lights. It’s a devastating line delivered with total vulnerability, and instead of building toward a massive drop, the Chainsmokers keep things restrained. The groove is subtle, the synths flicker like half-burnt memories, and the low end hums with unresolved tension. It’s the sound of coming undone, gracefully.

The track already lit up the dancefloors during Escapade Festival, The Edge, and London’s The Cause—and it clearly resonated. The official release, via Disruptor and Columbia Records, preserves the raw mood that set fans buzzing. It’s a left turn from last year’s pop-leaning “Don’t Lie” with Kim Petras, but one that deepens the duo’s creative palette.

What’s most impressive about “White Wine & Adderall” is its refusal to play by EDM’s usual rules. There’s no predictable payoff, no paint-by-numbers hook. The Chainsmokers let the emotion breathe, and Nox doesn’t rush to resolve it. This is the sound of a duo in transition—more atmospheric, more personal, and more willing to let their music bleed.
