Halsey Drops Single "Lucky": Stream It Now

Halsey dropped on Friday her latest single, “Lucky”.

The track interpolates Britney Spears’ 2000 hit, “Lucky,” an ode to the lonelier side of fame. “I’m so lucky, I’m a star/ But I cry, cry, cries in my lonely heart, thinking/ If there’s nothing missing in my life/ Then why do these tears come at night?” Halsey sings in the chorus, adding her twist to the song.

Halsey teased the single earlier this month with an Instagram snippet of the 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.”

The “Colors” singer had Spears fully on board with the track being repurposed and interpolated. “yes of course!” she wrote on X Thursday when asked by a fan whether the princess of pop had been involved.

Halsey’s fifth studio album 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”.
