It was one of the biggest earworms of 2015 with Mike Posner's hit track I Took A Pill In Ibiza becoming a successful summer bop.
Referencing the drug taking partying lifestyle he was embracing at the time, now the singer's life couldn't look more different.
Swapping pills and for God and meditation, Mike has completely turned his life around and has marked the 11-year anniversary of the song's release with an updated version with new lyrics.
Mike previously explained he wrote the song having taken an impromptu trip to Ibiza with Swedish DJ Avicii - who tragically took his own life in 2018 - after writing a song with him.
And announcing the new version on Instagram, Mike beamed as he held a sign which read 'I Went Back To Ibiza' as he reflected on being a 'completely new man' that he is 'proud of' following his wild twenties.
He told fans: '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.

Swapping pills and alcohol for God and meditation, Mike has completely turned his life around and has marked the 11-year anniversary of the song's release with an updated version with new lyrics (pictured at the MTV Movie Awards in 2016)
'Twelve years later, I feel proud to look to look at the lyrics of THAT song 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 and faith 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. In deep gratitude, mike.'
Swapping out the old lyrics, instead of 'I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool/ And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older/ But f**k it, it was something to do,' he now sings 'I went back to Ibiza and got a hotel by shore/ and I'm 12 years older and im 10 years sober but Avicii isn’t here no more'.
He then goes on to reference how he left LA to start a family adding 'cuz all the things i was chasing, and the things i was taking had me headed towards tragedy'.
Referencing his new found faith he continues: 'cuz I only get this one life/ So I think I’m gonna give my life up to God cuz he’s got me back onstage singing/ Got me back onstage singing… all i know are love songs.'
In another Instagram post last month, Mike looked back at the lessons he has learnt in the past 12 years since writing his hit as he celebrated his 38th birthday.
He shared: '38. I love myself more than ever, no longer do shit that harms my body to try to get people to like me'.
Mike continued: '26. I'm living out in LA, I drive a sports car just to prove, I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars and spend it on girls and shoes.
'38. donated massive jordan collection, drive 4runner, don't need to prove anything to anyone other than God, love myself. If I buy myself something nice, it's because I love myself and I deserve it, not because I'm trying to prove to others I'm good enough'.
In another slide he wrote that rather than feeling alone at 26, he has now 'spent a decade creating a community of the most loving high powered friends in the world.
'massive investment into relationship with my mom and sister... best it's ever been. relationship with God is on a whole new level'.
He added: 'I am the happiest I have ever been in my life and have sustained faith love and joy mindset for over a year and am not going back'.

Also fulfilled in his love life, after writing in 2014 that 'I can't keep a girl no' he is now in the 'most beautiful relationship I've ever been in' with Alli Schaper.
He explained he has overcome his fears of intimacy through therapy and coaches and recognised how much he wanted a wife and children.
The star concluded: '26. All I know are sad songs, sad songs.
'38. I know sadness and pain very well, I also know how I overcame/overcome it. It is my duty to teach others to do the same.
'I know sad songs, but I also know redemptions songs, songs of freedom, songs of faith and songs of devotion.'
He has also taken on huge physical challenges in recent years, including walking across America twice, the Continental Divide Trail and climbing Mount Everest.
Previously explaining the inspiration for the original song he said the trip to Ibiza came after writing a song with Avicii in Sweden, and deciding to follow the DJ to the island where he was performing because he'd never been before.
'We were at his show and I was drinking at the time. And I just sort of moseyed out into the audience to watch Avicii spin from their point of view,' he said.
Mike explained that he took a pill after a chance encounter with a fan who happened to recognise him while he was going between the VIP and general admission areas of the venue.
'So I took one and I had never done that before, and I felt amazing. Then when I came down, I felt ten years older,' he recalled.
Mike's father Jon Miller died of cancer in 2017, and his friends Avicii and Mac Miller passed in 2018, the first by suicide and the second by an accidental overdose.
At the time, Mike explained: 'Even though I had millions of dollars and followers and Grammy nominations, my life still felt empty.'
Following this, Mike decided to complete a six-month journey across the United States on foot in 2019.
Mike had to soldier through part of his trek with a walker after a baby rattlesnake bit him in Colorado this August, landing him briefly in the ICU.
He initially wrote on Instagram that he would 'not be able to walk for several weeks' - but was then up on a walker three days after the bite.
'From 24 miles per day to using this walker to get to bathroom. I’m on my way back. Gonna rebuild with patience and equanimity,' he tweeted.
The cross-country trek, which began five days before the first anniversary of Avicii's death, was partly a result of Mike's personal bereavement.
'The big thing is, everyone wants you to forget you're gonna die. Why? Because then you waste your precious life doing what they want you to do,' he told CBS This Morning around the time he began his trip from Asbury Park.
'People ask: "You know, is there a cause for your walk?" You know, I'm not raising money or anything, but maybe the cause is just to remind people your life is now. You know, if you close your eyes and you open 'em back up, this is it,' he said.
