Halsey Announces Release Date for New Single "Lucky"

Halsey announced Wednesday on Instagram her new single, “Lucky,” will  arrive on July 26.

The singer also shared the cover art for the album, which is a blurry, pink close-up of their face, featuring Y2K-inspired sparkles. 

The cover art is fitting, as Halsey interpolates Britney Spears’ 2000 hit, “Lucky,” an ode to the lonelier side of fame. 

“She’s so lucky, she’s a star/ But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking/ If there’s nothing missing in my life/ Then why do these tears come at night?” Halsey sings the chorus in the teaser, adding her own twist on the track.

Halsey announced the song earlier this month with an Instagram snippet of the song’s recognizable chorus. 

“When I was 5, it always felt like Britney was singing directly to me,” she wrote over the video rocking pink hair and a t-shirt that says “Lucky” across the front. “24 years later, these words hit different. love you forever.”

In June, Halsey confirmed that her fifth studio album is complete and on the way after fans noticed that she had unveiled a cryptic new website titled “ForMyLastTrick.com.” 

The page features several illustrated badges, some of them leading to what appear to be clues about the new album. 

Halsey’s new record will follow 2021’s "If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power".

The About-Face Beauty founder dropped a few singles in the three years since, including 2023’s “Die 4 Me” and 2022’s “So Good”.
