The punkiest track Halsey has released to date, this song finds the empowered singer warning her man she's now ready to embrace her bad side. I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night During Halsey's first two albums, Badlands and Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, she documented some of the hardships she's had to endure in her life. Now, in response to these trials and tribulations she will no longer play the victim. Instead the emboldened singer is ready to preempt any adversity by taking on the role of the aggressor.
Halsey penned the angsty song with Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and Happy Perez. Halsey previously collaborated with the three other writers on Blanco's hit tune "Eastside."
The music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, features cameos from Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and Debbie Harry. The clip features Halsey embodying various different personas, including a punk rocker, housewife, dominatrix and a glamorous model. "She really wanted to show how multifaceted women are," Lux Davis told MTV News. "We could be fighting in the street for sport and we could be in lingerie, really sexy and feminine and clean. That was the biggest thing that she wanted to say - just showcasing all different sides of what a woman is."
