Taylor Swift’s latest album release has seemingly rejuvenated interest in Halsey’s 2015 track, ‘Colors.’ The song, originally released as the third single from Halsey’s debut studio album, has reportedly experienced a significant increase in Spotify plays following Swift’s new album drop.
The resurgence in ‘Colors’ can be attributed to its lyrical content, which explores Halsey’s past relationship with Healy, the frontman of The 1975. The song’s references to Healy’s mother, a UK talk show host, and his struggles with heroin addiction have resonated with fans once again.
Halsey has previously stated that ‘Colors’ is about the pain of watching a loved one fall victim to negative behaviors. In a 2016 interview, she explained that the song could apply to anyone struggling with addiction, workaholism, or other destructive habits that distance them from their true selves.
This renewed interest in Halsey’s music comes amidst her recent departure from Capitol Records and signing with Columbia Records. Halsey has alluded to difficulties within the music industry, comparing it to a ‘madhouse’ where artists feel alienated and exploited.
With the resurgence of ‘Colors’ and Halsey’s upcoming music on the horizon, it’s clear that her raw and emotionally charged songwriting continues to captivate audiences.
