Mike Posner says, "On my 26th birthday, I wrote, 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza.' It was a sad but honest song about the state of my life. Twelve years later, I feel proud to look at the song lyrics and know that NONE of them are true anymore. I've grown into a completely new man...one that I'm proud of.So I went back and wrote a completely new version of the song. This is, 'I Went Back To Ibiza.' This song is the soundtrack to my personal transformation and I hope it becomes the soundtrack to others coming closer to faith, love, and the life that they deserve. I hope this song is a vehicle for transformation for other people. If you're reading this and you're going through some version of suffering, keep going. You might just be amazed at who you become."
