Halsey – has dropped a new song “safeword”

Genre-blending artist Halsey dropped a new song, “safeword”. Coming on the heels of her “Halsey: My Last Trick” Tour announcement from earlier this month, this is Halsey’s first release since their album The Great Impersonator last October. Alongside the track, Halsey premiered the NSFW video, which they began teasing earlier this week

GRAMMY®-nominated, genre-blending artist Halsey has amassed over 50 billion global streams, with more than 75 million RIAA-certified adjusted singles and all four albums RIAA-certified. They are one of the few artists with four songs reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify. In 2024, Halsey’s latest album, The Great Impersonator, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200—the same peak achieved by her 2020 album, Manic. This milestone continues Halsey’s success on the charts, following her previous No. 1s on Top Alternative Albums with If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power(2021), Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017), and Badlands (2015).
 
Following its release, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and the Canadian Albums Chart. The album was also certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US.
 
In 2021 Halsey introduced the world to about-face, a multi-dimensional makeup line made for everyone. Halsey built about-face on the truth that no one is just one thing and all humans are imperfectly beautiful beings. Following the success of about-face, Halsey followed up with af94 to inspire inner creativity & playfulness in cosmetic users. Both have become the fastest trending new cosmetic brands at their respective retailers.
 
Her first book, I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry, debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list in November 2020. Named as one of TIME‘s 100 Most Influential People, they were also the recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award. Halsey continues to speak up for important causes such as disenfranchised youth, women’s rights, mental health, and the LGBTQ community.
