I discuss Halsey's use of syntax, diction, imagery, repetition and more in this song from Hopeless Fountain Kingdom.

When this song first came out everyone was like oh halsey’s from Michigan?! And she said no, I’m from New Jersey (the garden state) the boy is from Michigan. HE’S back home in MI.

I’m from Michigan and when Halsey played this song live for us last year they had a whole funny rant about it and how she was playing it in sound check and was like omg duh. DUH. We’re in michigan. You guys better be the loudest on the entire tour or I’m going to be so disappointed in you!! You guys are probably so sick of this song, they probably played it so much on the radio right? (Everyone yelled YEAH) and she’s like I’m sorry, you’re probably so sick of hearing my voice and this song 😂 you’re probably saying GOD can’t anyone cooler sing a song about Michigan not this Halsey chick?! And everyone yelled NO 🥰

Halsey had an intimate live set on the Grammy museum for a room full of people, just H sitting on a chair and singing for them, super chill and talked about each song they were singing for them and when they got to Bad At Love they had a cute story about it. Halsey said: “Somebody wrote an article about a bunch of people that I dated and they’re like Halsey’s dated so many people. And I was like I haven’t dated THAT many people. I clicked on the article and I read it and was like I dated a lot of people. And every single one of them failed miserably. Why do I pick such bad people. Ohh it’s me. I’m the problem. Got it. Ok. That’s kind of what that song is a little bit about. It was honestly a pretty terrifying song to choose as a radio single and part of that is because the first half of the song is about men I’ve dated and the second half is about women. And that was already scary enough. The second was that there’s 2 men I mentioned dating, and 2 women I mentioned dating. And that’s already 4 people. Which means I’m already like… ya know? That’s already a lot in the eyes of the media. Like, it’s pretty bad. So it’s a pretty scary thing to do to acknowledge that yes, I’ve dated at LEAST 4 people. That’s all I could fit In 3 mins and 30 seconds. And if you want the rest, you’re going to have to keep buying the rest of the albums. Bc I will undoubtedly continue to be bad at love.”

“Never got the chance to make her mine because she fell in love with little thin white lines” and then in manic, the song 929: “lost the love of my life to an ivory powder, but then I realize that I’m no higher power. That I wasn’t in love then, and I’m still not now. I’m so glad I figured that out” I always think of these songs together from those lines.

“But I always think about her when I’m ridin’ through” often times when Halsey sings this live she sings “i always think about her when I’m riding you” and the crowd goes wild haha. She makes a riding gesture as she dances and a cute little smirk 😂

In billboard interview when asked why the London girl was kept a secret halsey said: “Every time I’m in London I think about this one girl that I was dating that I didn’t tell anybody I was dating. Keeping my relationships really private which was exciting and exhilarating but kind of made me feel like I was committing a crime, which is not how a relationship is supposed to feel.”

Same interview they asked what California Eyes meant to H and they said: “She had bright bright blue eyes like the sky in L.A. What I imagined the beach I’m like a perfect day in Malibu it would be like.”
