"Who Do You Love" is a song by American DJ duo the Chainsmokers featuring Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, released on February 7, 2019, through Sony Music.[1] It is the acts' first collaboration and follows their December 2018 singles "Hope" and "Lie to Me", respectively.[2] The song serves as the lead single from the Chainsmokers' third studio album World War Joy, alongside the scene of "Booksmart". The music video was released on March 25, 2019.[3] In April 2021, an early demo of the song intended for Demi Lovato's 2017 album Tell Me You Love Me surfaced online.[4]

Promotion

Both the Chainsmokers and 5 Seconds of Summer posted clips on social media leading up to the announcement, with 5 Seconds of Summer appearing walking through a "psychedelic landscape" and the Chainsmokers sitting in a studio talking about their lack of inspiration.[5] An audio clip was posted on February 5, featuring what edm.com called a "radio-friendly vocal harmony" by 5 Seconds of Summer.[6]

Music video

The music video was released on March 25, 2019.[3] In the music video, the Chainsmokers perform in a Battle of the Bands against 5 Seconds of Summer. They play in comparison to see which band is the best. The two bands start performing in a concert. In the bridge, 5 Seconds of Summer frontman Luke Hemmings crowd surfs, before the Chainsmokers member Andrew Taggart does the same, jumping from the stage roof. In the end, the stage explodes because of the tension between both bands.

Alternative Versions

On March 22, 2019, The Chainsmokers released an remix of the song, entitled "Who Do You Love (R3HAB Remix)".
