Following a series of hints and an eventual official announcement on social media, Halsey has released yet another single in the form of "Lonely is the Muse".

The single comes after two previous summer tracks from the pop superstar, but continues the genre-jumping trend Halsey has been on. Releasing less than a month after their last single, the Britney Spears-inspired pop tune "Lucky", "Lonely is the Muse" leans towards the early-aughts sound of Paramore.

all over the place. when I started writing it, I thought it might be the last album I ever got the chance to make. so I tried to do whatever I’d been wanting to do, but hadn’t tried yet ⭐️ https://t.co/nKoeZIvyZT

Despite the lack of aesthetic cohesion, Halsey has confirmed via social media that this single was well as "The End" and the previously mentioned "Lucky" are all leading towards a new album. It would be their first since 2021's Nine Inch Nails-produced If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power.
