The song became Posner's biggest single, outperforming his debut, "Cooler than Me" (2010), and was later nominated for a Grammy Award for Song of the Year. It achieved high chart positions in Posner's native United States, where it reached number one on both the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart and the Billboard Pop Songs chart, also peaking at number four on the main chart Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. I took a pill in IbizaTo show Avicii I was cool And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older But fuck it, it was something to do Im living out in LA I drive a sports car just to prove Im a real big baller cause I made a million dollars And I spend it on girls and. In the UK, the song remained at the top of the charts for four weeks. The Seeb remix reached the top ten of the charts in twenty-seven countries, including number one in Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. The lyrics reference Avicii, a Swedish DJ, who wrote a song with Posner called "Stay with You". After Norwegian trio SeeB crafted a tropical house remix of Posner’s single, I Took a Pill in Ibiza, Posner’s keen lyricism connected with audiences old and new. This was put due to the fact that the original song that got popular was the Seeb remix and not the original. The title references Ibiza, a Mediterranean island off the coast of Spain, while the pill was a "mystery" drug according to Posner. The music video is called the Fegelein Remix. The original version is on Posner's second EP The Truth, while both versions are on his second studio album At Night, Alone. The song, originally acoustic guitar-based, was remixed by Norwegian production duo Seeb and released digitally as a single in the United States on April 14, 2015. The Seeb remix peaked within the top ten of the charts in twenty-seven countries. Hopefully he goes back to writing pop songs for people who actually want to be in the spotlight or fully embraces his singer-songwriter tendencies."I Took a Pill in Ibiza" (also known by its censored title "In Ibiza" or its clean title "I Took a Plane to Ibiza") is a song by American singer Mike Posner. Posner later confirmed that the identity of the mystery substance was MDMA. I get that he doesn't want to be a pop star but he got famous (again) for one song and then refused to play that song for his fans even though that was why most of them went to see him in the first place, which was pretty fucking rude. Mind you at this time he was the most played artist on spotify, pretty much solely for Ibiza and he rarely played it, and we he did play it he performed a semi-acoustic version, instead of the EDM remix that everyone knows. i can't tell you how many time we booked him for massive audiences who only knew him for I took a pill in Ibiza and then he would perform acoustic tracks from his album that less than 60 thousands people bought in the first month. i felt bad for him because he was amazing at writing these pop songs that completely took over top 40 radio, whether he was performing them or he wrote them for someone else, but he never fully committed to (or should i say never wanted to) be the type of massive pop star his popular songs propelled him to be. So i was on his management team as an intern over spring and mike is a humble, genuine, nice guy but fuck was he hard to work with.
