According to The Chainsmokers, the album title derives from a quote from La Haine, a French crime drama film released in 1995. They found optimism in a particular annotation, which they believe encapsulates the album’s matter:
“HEARD ABOUT THE GUY WHO FELL OFF A SKYSCRAPER? ON HIS WAY DOWN PAST EACH FLOOR, HE KEPT SAYING TO REASSURE HIMSELF, ‘SO FAR SO GOOD… SO FAR SO GOOD… SO FAR SO GOOD.’ HOW YOU FALL DOESN’T MATTER. IT’S HOW YOU LAND.”
In a message, The Chainsmokers said the next thing about their next LP:
“WHAT A RIDE IT’S BEEN WITH YOU ALL TO GET TO THIS POINT. WE ALWAYS TELL OURSELVES…SO FAR SO GOOD. HOPEFULLY, IT’S ALL YOU WILL BE SAYING SOON TOO.”
Alex Pall and Drew Taggart are primarily responsible for not only songwriting but also production but the album is full of splashes from regular collaborators like Emily Warren, Ian Kirkpatrick and Whethan.
