In the year 2022, the Him & I singer took to social media and claimed that the record company Capitol Records refused to drop her new song So Good until and unless they conducted a TikTok campaign to promote it.

We are committing to a release of ‘So Good’ on June 9th, 2022… We are an artist-first company that encourages open dialogue. We have nothing but a desire to help each one of our artists succeed, and hope that we can continue to have these critical conversations.”

In the coming weeks, Halsey continued to slam the label but the public dispute between her and the record label ultimately calmed down. Then, she told her followers, “Now I can go back to using TikTok for my real plan: Using witchcraft to take over the world. … Thanks for keeping up with this fiasco. Hope you love the song.”

Halsey’s latest song Die 4 Me saw the light of day on February 23, 2023. Some of the popular songs of the rock star are as follows: Without Me, Closer, Colors, Him & I, and Bad at Love.
