Halsey reveals she's been battling illness in "The End," first song off her new album

The singer-songwriter Halsey explores an intersection between love and illness in "The End," an emotional ballad released Tuesday as the first single off her upcoming, not yet titled fifth album. 

Following the success of 2021's "If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power," the Grammy nominee's newest track chronicles a chilling health struggle and a relationship underpinned by questions about mortality.

Halsey initially previewed its release on Instagram earlier this week and confirmed the drop in her latest post to the social media platform, which included videos of the artist's own medical battle, one she had not spoken about publicly before.
