The single is set to be part of Halsey’s upcoming fifth studio album, a project that marks her first major release since her health struggles became publicly known. Halsey’s recent post reflects her disappointment with how her return to music has unfolded, highlighting the emotional toll that public criticism and fan reactions have taken on her.
As Halsey navigates this challenging period, her openness about her experiences sheds light on the personal battles behind the music and the impact of public scrutiny on artists.
