AceShowbiz - Halsey is grappling with her ego in the latest single, "Ego," from their upcoming album, "The Great Impersonator."
In the song, Halsey sings about the inner conflict she faces, questioning her happiness and wondering if she should "kill [her] ego." The accompanying music video, written and directed by Halsey, depicts a dinner between two versions of herself that quickly devolves into a battle throughout her home.
Halsey explains the inspiration behind the song, saying, "I think that I should try to kill my ego/ 'Cause if I don't, my ego might kill me." She expresses her desire to change and become a better person, despite the challenges she faces.
"Ego" is the fourth single from "The Great Impersonator," which Halsey describes as deeply personal and a record made "in the space between life and death." The album, set to release on October 25, features previously released singles "The End," "Lucky," and "Lonely Is the Muse."
Halsey's introspective and confessional lyrics explore themes of self-identity, doubt, and the desire for growth. The album's concept is based on the idea of a woman who can become anyone and anything, a theme explored in the album's cover art and the "Ego" music video.
Halsey's raw and vulnerable performance in both the song and video highlight her ongoing journey of self-discovery and the challenges she faces in navigating her own identity.
