The song “Cooler Than Me” was released in April and by the time June came around it was a hit not only in the US, but also in Australia, Ireland, and Canada.
Mike Posner, his birth name Michael Posner, was born in Michigan.
The song "Cooler Than Me" came about because in college at Duke University, Mike fell for a girl. She snubbed him and thought she was better than him. Hence the lyrics,
You wear them around like you’re cooler than me
And you never say “Hey” or remember my name
And it’s probably ‘cause you think your cooler than me”
He made the right decision in writing this story about the girl who treated him wrong, but he won't tell who the girl is because he doesn't feel like she has the right to be actually have her name out there, to make her head bigger than what it must already be.
Mike Posner is a very good artist and am sure that he has many more amazing songs to come.
I've only heard that one song by him so far.
