I took a pill in Ibiza To show Avicii I was cool And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older But fuck 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 You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs I'm just a singer who already blew his shot I get along with old timers 'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot And I can't keep a girl, no 'Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse But the truth is I can't open up Now you don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs I took a plane to my home town I brought my pride and my guitar All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns And the people still think I'm a star I walked around downtown I met some fans on Lafayette They said: Tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient So I looked 'em in the eye and said You don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs

O original de “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” foi gravado de forma acústica com guitarra e lançado digitalmente em abril de 2015 como single do EP *The Truth* de Mike Posner.
Em poucos meses, o dueto norueguês Seeb produziu um remix que se tornou um hit global, atingindo o topo das paradas em 27 países, incluindo número 1 em Bélgica, Israel, Holanda, Noruega, Irlanda e Reino Unido, onde permaneceu no topo por quatro semanas.
A versão remixada chegou ao quarto lugar no *Billboard Hot 100* em 21 de maio de 2016, foi número 15 na lista anual de 2016 e alcançou o primeiro lugar nas listas *Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay* e *Billboard Pop Songs*, consolidando-se como o maior sucesso solo de Posner.
A canção foi incluída na trilha sonora oficial da segunda temporada da série *Scream* da MTV, aparecendo em vários episódios e sendo re‑lançada em 29 de julho de 2016 sob a gravadora Island Records.
Posner revelou que a “pílula” citada na letra era um “médico misterioso”, que ele confirmou mais tarde ter sido ecstasy, o que adicionou um elemento de controvérsia à narrativa da música.
Em 2026, a carreira de Posner continuou com a sequência “I Went Back to Ibiza”, que recebeu um remix do DJ David Guetta, mantendo o legado de Ibiza na música pop.
