The flowers of “Roses,”\u00a0The Chainsmokers<\/a>‘\u00a0generational dance anthem,\u00a0still have not wilted after a decade.<\/p>\n

Released back on June 16th, 2015, the track celebrates its 10-year-anniversary\u00a0today. Feel old yet?<\/p>\n

“10 YEARS AGO TODAY this song came out and changed our lives,” The Chainsmokers wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

“Roses,” which features the ageless vocals of ROZES<\/a>, arrived during that sweet spot when EDM was transitioning from festival mainstages to Top 40 radio rotation. While other dance music producers were chasing the big room house<\/a> dragon at the time, The Chainsmokers crafted a future-pop anthem that felt both innovative and deeply accessible.<\/p>\n

Looking back, “Roses” represents a specific moment when electronic music was figuring out its mainstream identity. The track wasn’t trying to be the next “Levels” or “Bangarang.” It was catchy without being annoying, emotional without being sappy, and somehow managed to play at both wedding receptions and college ragers without feeling out of place.<\/p>\n
