Halsey Drops 80s Inspired Song ‘I Never Loved You’: Stream It Now

Halsey’s The Great Impersonator is almost here, and the superstar dropped a new track off the album on Thursday (Oct. 10) titled “I Never Loved You.”

Leading up to the release, Halsey continued their Instagram series in which they impersonate a different musical icon and the song they inspired. For “I Never Loved You,” the singer was inspired by Kate Bush, which is clear in the 80s-inspired melody.

“You can take the money, you can get on a plane/ To a beautiful island, build her house in my name/ You can donate all the money to somebody in pain/ And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame/ I never loved you,” she sings on the track.

Arriving Oct. 25, The Great Impersonator will mark Halsey’s fifth studio album. It follows 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The star has described the project as deeply personal, saying, “I made this record in the space between life and death, and it feels like I’ve waited an eternity for you to have it.” The album also features previously released singles “The End,” “Lucky” and “Lonely Is the Muse.”

Halsey previously confirmed that the album will traverse different decades and musical styles, with the “Closer” singer revealing multiple variants of The Great Impersonator‘s cover inspired by different time periods through a fan scavenger hunt earlier this month.
