Since the song’s July release, numerous music fans and bloggers have discussed a similarity between The Chainsmokers’ smash “Closer (featuring Halsey)” and The Fray’s 2005 breakthrough “Over My Head (Cable Car).”<\/p>\n

Specifically, listeners have compared the EDM hook in “Closer” to the driving piano riff in “Over My Head.”<\/p>\n

Amid the discussion, The Fray members and “Over My Head” songwriters Isaac Slade and Joe King have each received a writing\u00a0credit on “Closer.”<\/p>\n

The ASCAP listing for the song<\/a> identifies Slade and King as co-writers alongside Halsey (Ashley Frangipane), Shaun Frank, Frederic Kennett, and Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart.<\/p>\n

Music industry professional and commentator Adam Raza first noted the revision on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of press time, it is unclear what prompted the decision to credit Slade and King.<\/p>\n

“Closer” is the reigning #1 song in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":66249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[5198,4585,7281,7280,7282,1802,1740],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Fray's Isaac Slade, Joe King Now Credited As Writers On The Chainsmokers & Halsey's "Closer"<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Since the song's July release, numerous music fans and bloggers have discussed a similarity between The Chainsmokers' smash "Closer (featuring Halsey)"\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/09\/02\/frays-isaac-slade-joe-king-now-credited-writers-chainsmokers-halseys-closer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Fray's Isaac Slade, Joe King Now Credited As Writers On The Chainsmokers & Halsey's "Closer"\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Since the song's July release, numerous music fans and bloggers have discussed a similarity between The Chainsmokers' smash "Closer (featuring Halsey)"\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/09\/02\/frays-isaac-slade-joe-king-now-credited-writers-chainsmokers-halseys-closer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-09-02T18:19:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-09-02T18:19:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/The-Chainsmokers-Closer-Cover.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1999\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1999\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dolph Malone\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/09\/02\/frays-isaac-slade-joe-king-now-credited-writers-chainsmokers-halseys-closer\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/09\/02\/frays-isaac-slade-joe-king-now-credited-writers-chainsmokers-halseys-closer\/\",\"name\":\"The Fray's Isaac Slade, Joe King Now Credited As Writers On The Chainsmokers & Halsey's \\\"Closer\\\"\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-09-02T18:19:12+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-09-02T18:19:42+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b902f455f63156eaf34c503385466644\"},\"description\":\"Since the song's July release, numerous music fans and bloggers have discussed a similarity between The Chainsmokers' smash \\\"Closer (featuring Halsey)\\\"\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/09\/02\/frays-isaac-slade-joe-king-now-credited-writers-chainsmokers-halseys-closer\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b902f455f63156eaf34c503385466644\",\"name\":\"Dolph Malone\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e959d88bf98ab21f00cf51ce0f4ce8f3?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e959d88bf98ab21f00cf51ce0f4ce8f3?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Dolph Malone\"},\"description\":\"Dolph Malone is a senior editor for Headline Planet and a key contributor to the music and television sectors of the publication.
