Halsey's upcoming song "Lucky," due July 26, interpolates Britney Spears' song of the same name, and Halsey says that Britney gave her the green light to do it.
In response to a fan asking, "Has Britney reacted to your song yet!? Have you involved her at all?" on social platform X, Halsey replied, "yes of course! I wouldn’t even dream of doing it without her blessing!"
Halsey also told a fan who asked if her upcoming album includes different genres that the record is "all over the place." She explained, "when I started writing it, I thought it might be the last album I ever got the chance to make. so I tried to do whatever I’d been wanting to do, but hadn’t tried yet."
As for the inspiration behind the album, Halsey explained to another fan that her health struggles are a big part of it. "I wrote a lot about what I was going through. I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone, though it was mostly my choice to not," she wrote.
"But the weight of it all and looking at my life wondering if I was happy with who I was. While simultaneously changing against my will. more on that later lol."
Asked how many tracks the album includes, she wrote, "Too many, I’ve been told. lol."
The singer also teased a return to the road. When a fan asked if a tour was "realistic," given Halsey's health issues, she wrote, "I’m *running* to the stage."
And when a fan asked what reaction Halsey's son Ender has to his mom's music, she wrote, "I used to listen to demos / mixes in the car when I was driving him to his little pre-school and he would say 'mommy this is a REAL GOOD song!' sometimes haha."
