After revealing the tracklisting for Manic fans were in a frenzy to get every bit of content they could before the album’s release. Halsey was more than willing to accommodate.

“Finally // beautiful stranger” is a moving, emotional song that explores first love and the emotions it causes. Watch the beautiful video below.

Now, the alt-pop singer is going country with her latest release “You Should Be Sad.”

Halsey revealed on Twitter that the track was inspired by some of her favorite female artists. She also says she wanted to do something like Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.”

The singer revealed other tributes from the music video from Lady Gaga to Shania Twain.

The singer also said Manic will include a wide range of sounds because the LP “changes it’s mind” just as much as she does.
