Mike Posner Disowns ‘I Took a Pill in Ibiza’ Lyrics on His 37th Birthday

He replaced his former drug-fuelled verses with self-affirming lines to reflect his personal and spiritual transformation

Overview

  • Posner used a series of posts on X on July 31 to declare that none of the original lyrics to his 2016 hit ring true for him anymore
  • He proposed new lines such as “I love myself more than ever, no longer do shit that harms my body to try to get people to like me” in place of drug-centric verses
  • The singer credited a decade of challenges—from climbing Mount Everest to overcoming intimacy fears—for reshaping his outlook
  • Posner said his relationship with God has reached a “whole new level” after making what he called a “massive investment” in his personal life
  • He described being in the healthiest and most beautiful relationship he’s ever had and surrounding himself with loving, high-powered friends
