Halsey, Die 4 Me | Track Review 🎵

Halsey sounds fierce on “Die 4 Me,” a reworked, solo version of a 2019 Post Malone track (“Die For Me”) where she served as a featured guest. 

“Said you’d die for me, you’d die for me, you’d die for me / But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me, yeah.” Woo! Sometimes, the remix – or an alternate version of a track – is necessary for an artist to fully express themselves.  For 🎙 Halsey, a featured guest on the 2019 🎙 Post Malone track, 🎵 “Die For Me” (💿 Hollywood’s Bleeding), she drops a solo version, 🎵 “Die 4 Me” with brand-new verses.  Ultimately, the results are positive. 

The production on “Die 4 Me” still has a hip-hop, R&B vibe, much like the Post Malone version.  Regardless, it plays more to Halsey’s strengths – more pop driven.  Throughout, she delivers clear, expressive vocals, all the while crying foul regarding this person’s assertion to be there through thick and thin. Following the tuneful chorus (from the original), Halsey is fired up from the opening line of the first verse: “I hope you think about me every time you touch it / I hope your new girl hears it and she loves it.” In the second verse, she unveils her vengeful, bi side: “I don’t play anymore, I went through your phone / And called the girls in your DMs and took them all home.” Oh, snap!  Another notable moment: “I sold 40 million copies of our break-up note.” Da-yum!

Final Thoughts 💭

The alternative pop singer/songwriter didn’t play in the slightest on 🎵 “Die 4 Me”, WOO! Halsey made it known she’s unbothered (essentially) after he treated her the way that he did.  She learned a difficult love lesson, yet, ultimately, she’s better off.  Her love pain is our listening pleasure on this fine solo joint.
