It does not accurately represent the chord progressions of all the songs it depicts. It was originally written in D major (thus the progression being D major, A major, B minor, G major) and performed live in the key of E major (thus using the chords E major, B major, C♯ minor, and A major). The song was subsequently published on YouTube. [9]
In this case, the chord is viewed as a C major seventh chord (CM 7) in which the third note is an augmented fifth from root (G ♯), rather than a perfect fifth from root (G). All chord names and symbols including altered fifths, i.e., augmented (♯ 5, +5, aug5) or diminished (♭ 5, o 5, dim5) fifths can be interpreted in a similar way.
[11] Rolling Stone named "Don't Let Me Down" one of the 30 best songs of the first half of 2016, writing "EDM may not dominate the charts the way it used to but the Chainsmokers' swirling, turnt-up love song proves the genre has a little fight left in it. Newcomer Daya goes to battle with the aggro, big room beats and ends up coming out on top."
The suspended fourth chord is often played inadvertently, or as an adornment, by barring an additional string from a power chord shape (e.g., E5 chord, playing the second fret of the G string with the same finger barring strings A and D); making it an easy and common extension in the context of power chords.
