Halle Bailey just served a whole buffet of emotions on her new single Because I Love You—and trust me, it’s not your average love song. Nope, this is the kind of track that’ll have you texting your ex “just to check in” at 2 AM, then crying into your cereal the next morning because… well, feelings.
But wait, there’s more! This anthem of emotional unraveling comes with a cinematic masterpiece of a music video. Directed by Allie Avital (aka the wizard behind the camera), the visuals are so good, they might just make your phone screen start playing it on its own. Halle blends her big-screen star power with her vocal chops, and the result? A music video that looks like it could win an Oscar, a Grammy, and possibly even a Nobel Peace Prize for calming your chaotic heart.
Halle co-wrote this musical tear-jerker with RAYE, the BRIT Award-winning genius who’s basically Cupid with a pen. Together, they’ve crafted something that’ll have you rethinking all your life choices and maybe even sending a heartfelt apology to your house plants for neglecting them.
This new single follows the soul-stirring ‘In Your Hands’ and the angelic (literally) ‘Angel.’ It’s like Halle’s creating the ultimate breakup playlist, except it’s not sad—it’s self-care with a dash of sass.
Now go watch the video, but maybe keep a box of tissues nearby. You’ll need them for your emotions… and possibly for your phone after you drop it in a puddle of your own tears.
