Following her collaboration with Travis Barker and Yungblud, Halsey returns with her first solo single of the year "Nightmare," complete with some trippy visuals.
The video above, directed by 2-time MTV VMA winner Hannah Lux Davis, showcases an all-female cast as Halsey herself examines the expectations placed on the modern woman by society before shattering them in the track.
The concept was made by Halsey herself and she’s dedicated the song to a specific target of folks. "Imagine getting onstage every night and seeing young women sweating mascara tears, lightning in their eyes, throwing elbows and raising fists, screaming till the veins in their necks raise under warm skin," the artist stated on Twitter. "And not being inspired by it. This song is about you, for you."
