Halsey, known for her in-your-face and unapologetic music and art, recently previewed her upcoming-to-be-released single, “Safeword,” to be released on February 27, 2025.

The 13-second preview uploaded by Halsey has already created a lot of hype among fans, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community, with most of them declaring their eagerness and anticipation over the full release of the song. This blend of art and music is bound to attract her fan’s unique style.

While the teaser is not being too explicit about the musical content of the song, her past record suggests that “Safeword” could be in the form of pop, rock, and electronic beats. The artist has had experience experimenting with different genres and moods in music, utilizing the darker and more introspective themes extensively. Since the video teaser has a BDSM theme, there may be a possibility that the song would be darker and more edgy than some of Halsey’s songs in the past.
“Safeword” comes after her fifth studio album, The Great Impersonator, which was released in October 2024. The single will be included as part of a wider promotion campaign for the lead-up to Halsey’s “For My Last Trick“tour. It will be a 32-city North American tour featuring special guest performances by hit bands Evanescence and The Warning.
