Mike Posner's "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" is an extremely unusual and thought-provoking music video. The combination of the lyrics mixed with the costumes, sets, and real life of Mike Posner paints a fascinating story of drug abuse and addiction. However, what makes this video interesting isn't just the lyrics; the use of settings and outfit types, especially the grotesque mask that Mike Posner wears in the video, helps keep the video interesting. In Mike Posner's real life, he actually took a pill in Ibiza, which is a music festival in Spain, because it was the "cool" or "popular" thing to do. Mike Posner wanted to show other singers and the people of Ibiza that he was cool. In the song, he admits that the pills have really gotten old and changed. Since he took "the pill" at the beginning of the video, the main character in this clip still wears a strange mask with a deadpan expression. The mask is a huge, almost fish-like, pale-skinned, stunned, wide-eyed, open-mouthed, bizarre, almost eerie representation of Mike Posner's true face. This mask represents his dissatisfaction with what he is doing. The character never reacts to any action. Throughout the video, his friends party, fight, poison themselves with alcohol and Mike Posner even has beautiful women who want to be with him. However, no matter what happens in the video, Mike Posner is not having fun at all. The video takes place in a club and the main character is "going through the motions" in his everyday life. All his friends are having a great time with him at the party, but he can only sit and watch and nod. The character in the mask is just there, zoned out, unable to have fun no matter what. This is closely related to his real life when Mike Posner had a serious substance
