After comparisons were drawn between 'Closer' and The Fray's ' Over My Head (Cable Car)', lead singer Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King of The Fray were credited as co-writers of 'Closer' on September 2, 2016. Before Halsey was brought on as the female vocalist, the collaboration was originally supposed to feature former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello. The song is about a couple who broke up and unexpectedly meet long after, leading to romantic attraction again. The band Taking Back Sunday also influenced the song.

He later said the song instead was ' Feeling This', though he could not really remember which: 'I've listened to their self-titled album so many times the whole thing is pretty much beat,' he tweeted. According to Taggart, the track was inspired by the Blink-182 song ' I Miss You', which the duo were listening to on repeat and is referenced in the song. Taggart wrote the song with Canadian DJ Shaun Frank in one session, and Frank encouraged him to sing on the song. The song's beat was created in a session between Chainsmokers member Andrew Taggart and Freddy Kennett of Louis the Child. In 2018, the song received a diamond certification by the RIAA for selling 10 million units in the United States. It received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Its music video was released on October 23, 2016. Halsey and the Chainsmokers performed the track live at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards as well as a remix of the song at the 2016 American Music Awards. The song was performed live for the first time at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2016. It also became only the second song in the history of the Hot 100 chart to spend 32 weeks in the top ten of the chart. The song went on to become the first song to spend 26 weeks in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Internationally the single topped the charts in seventeen countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, making it both the Chainsmokers' and Halsey's first chart-topping song in all six countries. The Chainsmokers became the first act to have four songs ('Closer' being the fourth) that top the Dance/Electronic Songs chart, passing Calvin Harris, who held the previous record with three.

This is the highest EDM song that cracked the Billboard Decade-End in the 2010s according to Billboard.

The song stayed at the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks. In the United States, 'Closer' became both the Chainsmokers' and Halsey's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Musically, it is a future bass and pop song with a ' retro' style synthesizer in the chorus. The song was written by Taggart, Halsey, Shaun Frank, Freddy Kennett, Isaac Slade and Joe King, while the production was handled by the Chainsmokers. It was released on July 29, 2016, through Disruptor Records and Columbia Records. Andrew Taggart (one half of the Chainsmokers) also provides his vocals in the song.
