AceShowbiz - After chronicling a star-crossed love in dramatic "Now or Never" video, Halsey is now back with a new visuals for "Bad at Love". We pick up where she left us in the video as the songstress continues her journey in the apocalyptic land. Rocking a buzz cut, Halsey turns into a biker babe who's on the run.
The new clip begins with the 22-year-old singer riding a motorcycle down a deserted road before pulling up to a gas station and meeting three new friends. Telling about her bad experience with love, Halsey rhymes, "I'm bad at love/ But you can't blame me for tryin'/ You know I'd be lyin' sayin'/ You were the one/ That could finally fix me/ Lookin' at my history/ I'm bad at love."
The clip, which Halsey co-directed with Sing J Lee, also includes a run-in with a creepy fortuneteller from Halsey's "Now or Never" video. Halsey then narrowly avoids being captured by police officers with the help of her friends. The four later hop onto a car and drive for a fun trip in the deserted land.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Halsey shared that actor Leonardo DiCaprio inspired her to make "Bad at Love". The singer said that she wanted the track to "sound like Leonardo DiCaprio in a Hawaiian T-shirt in a droptop yellow convertible car, driving down the highway like in 'Miami Vice' with all his friends."
Inspired by Leo's role in 1996's romantic Drama "Romeo + Juliet", the song finds Halsey reflecting on a number of failed relationships. She also revealed that the song came to be when she was in the middle of coping with a messy breakup.
"Bad Love" is a single off "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom", which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart back in June. Halsey is currently gearing up for her North American tour in support of the effort. She will kick off the extensive trek in Uncasville, Connecticut on September 29 and conclude it in Cleveland, Ohio on November 22.
