Facts about “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” was originally released by Island Records on 14 April 2015 and featured on Mike Posner’s EP “The Truth”. And while watching him perform, a fellow audience member, who recognized Posner, offered him a pill, which as we all know he accepted.That said, Posner was inspired to get all personal on this song by his buddy Jake Owen, a country music singer/songwriter. Thus it illustrates the sensations he felt not so much when he was ascending but rather when he was coming back down to earth. “Girls in Their Summer Clothes” by Bruce Springsteen I took a pill in Ibiza To show Avicii I was cool And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older But screw it, it was something to do I'm living out in la I drive a sports car just to prove I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars And I spend it on girls and shoes But you don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me Instead most of the track is based on the depression he felt as a result of his success, specifically in regards to rising and falling in the music industry. I took a pill in Ibiza To show Avicii I was cool And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older But fuck it, it was something to do I’m living out in LA The title is actually based on an event which originated from him accompanying Avicii to Ibiza. This is Posner’s way of saying that making it big is not all it’s cracked up to be And why? It is rather a glimpse into the inner reflections the artist has concerning his interactions with fame. "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" (also known by its censored title "In Ibiza" or its clean title "I Took a Plane to Ibiza") [citation needed] is a song by American singer Mike Posner.
