In a bold move that left fans both intrigued and amused, electronic duo The Chainsmokers recently unveiled a scrapped cover art concept that paid homage to none other than Justin and Hailey Bieber. Alexander Pall and Andrew Taggart, known for their chart-topping hits, went all-in to recreate the sultry essence of the Biebers’ iconic Calvin Klein photoshoot.
The glimpse into what could have been the cover art for their upcoming fifth studio album, “Summertime Friends,” was shared by the duo on their social media platforms. The image featured Pall and Taggart striking poses reminiscent of the Biebers, oozing charisma and confidence.

“‘Summertime Friends’ comes out this week and this was supposed to be the cover art but it came out ridiculous,” lamented The Chainsmokers in the caption of their post. Their disappointment was palpable as they humorously quipped, “We are so upset. Firing the creative director immediately. Never trusting our team again.”

The Chainsmokers unveiled “Summertime Friends” last month during their inaugural “Party Never Ends” show in Los Angeles, setting the stage for what promises to be another chart-topping release. Their musical journey continues with upcoming performances in Las Vegas on September 9th, followed by stops in Mountain View, California, and Aspen, Colorado. As fans eagerly await the album’s release, one can only wonder if the rejected cover art was a playful tease or a glimpse into the duo’s artistic experimentation.
