🎤 Two years later… she returns. Not with a whisper, not with a whimper — but with full-blown, hair-flipping, soul-belting drama. Hailee Steinfeld, the queen of doing-it-all (acting, singing, slaying), is back with a new track titled “Dangerous,” and trust us — the only dangerous thing here is how obsessed you’re about to be.
The song dropped alongside her new movie Sinners, which just hit theaters on Friday (April 18) like a moody tornado of passion, plot twists, and eyeliner. Hailee’s been on a music hiatus since “SunKissing” in March 2023 — a.k.a. 37 billion TikToks ago — and let’s just say, our playlists have been weeping in her absence.
“It’s been a long two years away from music,” Hailee wrote on Instagram, probably while wearing something effortlessly cool we can’t afford. “I’m so beyond grateful for this moment.”
Translation: she’s been cooking up something spicy, and now she’s serving it hot.
Now let’s talk collab goals: Hailee co-wrote “Dangerous” with musical wizard Sarah Aarons and literal Oscar magnet Ludwig Göransson. Yes, the same Ludwig who did Black Panther and The Mandalorian. If this trio was a brunch menu, we’d order everything twice.
“Because I was both acting in the movie and writing for it, it was like this super intense creative smoothie,” Hailee told Billboard. (Okay, maybe not those exact words — but vibes.)
“It’s rare to have a project that lets you show up completely,” she said. “And Sinners gave me that.”
In the song, she channels her inner tortured soul — Mary, her character — who’s got a thing for a dude named Stack. But wait! It’s dangerous. (Hence the name.) Love triangles? Emotional turmoil? Sign us up!
“It’s that kinda love that makes you forget, ‘oh wait, we might get totally destroyed by this,’” Hailee explained. “Oops.”
She also said the characters are super vulnerable — and same, girl. Honestly, we’re all just trying to hold it together with coffee and Spotify Premium.
After two years of zen time, Hailee said she came back not to “fill space,” but to “say something real.” She even called Sinners the push she needed to get back in the music game, but don’t call it a comeback — call it “returning to the truth.”
Deep? Yes. Dramatic? Obviously. Us streaming “Dangerous” on loop while staring at the ceiling? Immediately.
And just FYI — Sinners is already killing it at the box office, because duh. So go see the movie, cry a little, then walk out pretending you’re in your own music video. (You are. It’s fine.)
🎧 Stream “Dangerous” now on Spotify or Apple Music, and prepare to text your ex “just thinking about you…” completely against your will.
