Without Me - Halsey (Karaoke)

“Without Me” is the first new song released by Halsey since her 2017 album, hopeless fountain kingdom. The track is directed at her ex G-Eazy after she was “cheated on in front of the entire world, like, a billion times.”

This song dives into the personal feelings of Halsey after being a very public relationship. The track is different to her earlier conceptual records Badlands and hopeless fountain kingdom, due to the fact there was no role to play:

It’s the most raw thing I’ve ever made… Here, I have this record where it’s just me, no character. It’s about my life and my relationship that the world has watched so closely… It’s just me.

The song premiered on Zane Lowe’s “World Record” on Beats 1 Radio, and was followed by an interview with the artist about “Without Me”.

In that interview, Halsey stated that the song was not going to be part of a future album, and described it as a “stand-alone record;” however, on 13 September 2019, “Without Me” was revealed to be track 9 on her third studio album Manic.

In honor of the song hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Halsey released a remix of the track featuring Juice WRLD.
