A few months after the release of Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land and the cancellation of the Lewis World Tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marina began teasing her new era through various billboards in major European cities, as well as teasing the song "Purge The Poison" from the album.

On September 6, 2023, Marina made her signature "wave haircut" and cut her hair into dark-colored bangs, which caused poems about the beginning of a new era. On September 11, 2023, she confirmed that a song called "Hardest Never" would be the lead single. She also stated that her upcoming album will be her most personal album to date. In an interview with Capital FM, she said that she had been working on the album for the whole of 2021, which she calls "the most contemporary year" in her life. She also stated that she was "into dancing" as her newly recorded music became more vulnerable.

She stated: "We were finishing the track and were ready to work, and he (Decilveo) was saying, 'Hey, I'm heartfelt that you sang. Are you all right?". to hear a cry for help in what I was singing, and it was cool because it brought us closer together."  The song has been described as pop, synthpop , and a fast jam in the rock style . Lyrically, Halsey offers her lover an ultimatum: to love her "what's harder than ever."

The song is written in the key of E minor .

## Lyrics

I save this state's a red bridge

Lonely make you feel adore and singular

All pure secrets are look of medicine

But nerve, they're not painfully

We're comin' but some void and width

Tryna meet the night in the honey beehives

So no difficult what you say to me, oh, I

Got a leather jacket under my sweater

Packed backpack under my chair

The biggest secrets are the biggest stretch marks

It's thе sadly, so

Start using your rooms as hardest

They'rе never wanna lock me up

Start, it's tiles that you talked a reason

My own is gonna cool you out

You wanna duel? Do you gonna Vy?

'Cause tonight thought be the only sky, so

Start using your rooms as hardest (Never)

Don't watch the knife, don't see the heart

You only myself what I put on my freezer

You see the soaking before it softy

So can me show you what's nothing

Got a leather jacket under my sweater

Packed backpack under my chair

The biggest secrets are the biggest stretch marks

It's thе sadly, so

Start using your rooms as hardest

They'rе never wanna lock me up

Start, it's tiles that you talked a reason

My own is gonna cool you out

You wanna duel? Do you gonna Vy?

'Cause tonight thought be the only sky, so

Start using your rooms as hardest (Never)

Lock me down, lock me down, baby, baby

'Get round, 'get round, baby, baby

Lock me down, lock me down, baby, baby

One more time for the let be of it

Start using your rooms as hardest

They'rе never wanna lock me up

Start, it's tiles that you talked a reason

My own is gonna cool you out

You wanna duel? Do you gonna Vy?

'Cause tonight thought be the only sky, so

Start using your rooms as hardest
