Halsey spoke about their ailment through their latest single The End
The American singer and songwriter dropped their latest single, The End, on her official YouTube channel. Through the lyrics of the track, the idol talked about how they were feeling about her reported ailment and mentioned:
"Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick. Pulls out a brand-new bag of tricks. And then they lay it on me. And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain. And I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry."
Halsey composed the track, with Michael Uzowuru and Alex G producing it. A cryptic website for their upcoming album titled ForMyLastTrick was launched. The site features an envelope that bursts open into multiple illustrated badges and retro stickers if an individual clicks on it.
The friendship between BTS and Halsey started when they met at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards where Halsey complimented them, stating that their videos were "the coolest" and gifted them churros before they delivered electrifying performances in front of an American audience.
