Halsey is back with more musical magic than your playlist can handle! The 30-year-old pop powerhouse just flung another sonic masterpiece into the universe with her latest track, “I Never Loved You,” released Thursday (October 10). It’s basically the love child of synths and shoulder pads, because this one is dripping in pure ’80s fabulousness. Think big hair, neon lights, and dramatic stares into the distance—perfect for all your moody walks around the house.
The song, written by Halsey herself (because of course she’s multi-talented), was produced by Michael Uzowuru (who hangs out with Frank Ocean, no big deal) and Tyler Johnson (who, you know, casually works with Miley Cyrus—so no pressure, right?). Together, this trio basically concocted a time machine and brought us back to a time when everything was groovy, and feelings were super complicated.
“I Never Loved You” follows in the footsteps of her Top 40 hit “Ego”—because Halsey knows how to serve up a hit like it’s brunch and we’re all hungry. And let’s not forget that the full album, The Great Impersonator, will drop on October 25. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare your ears for a glorious sonic rollercoaster.
As part of the album’s buildup, Halsey is doing something so extra, it’s brilliant: she’s impersonating a different icon every single day. Why? Because she can. So far, we’ve been graced with her takes on Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush. What’s next? Cher? Freddie Mercury? A surprise Britney Spears? Who knows! But it’s all going down on her Instagram, so don’t miss it—this is a masterclass in channeling legends.
Oh, and it doesn’t stop there. Just when you thought Halsey had done enough, she’s also going to perform on a special Halloween episode of Amazon Music Live. Because what’s Halloween without Halsey? Exactly.
Now go ahead, hit that play button and listen to “I Never Loved You,” because your ears deserve some glamour too!
