Five days prior, without the approval of Capitol, Halsey played a snippet of her song in a TikTok video. In the days following her post, questions arose regarding whether or not Capitol was going to take legal action against her. Music industry attorney Erin M. Jacobson mentioned in an article by TIME that "it is rare that a label would sue one of its own artists, especially when the label plans to continue working with that artist. Further, using such a short piece of the record could also be seen as a promotional use." Capitol Records eventually conceded on May 31, 2022, amid criticism and scrutiny from a variety of music artists, and set a release date for the song of June 9, 2022.

In July 2023, Halsey stated that "As of right now I’m approaching it kinda how I approached manic. No strict genre parameters or anything. Just making what feels good and what hits home :) definitely some of my best songwriting. a lot of life has happened to me since I wrote IICHLIWP". In an Instagram post made two months later, Halsey captioned it "not pictured: me splitting myself in two everyday so that I can give you my deepest wounds (and a handful of perfect joys) for the 5th time in 10 years."

## Musical influences

Halsey stated that growing up she listened to a big variety of music:

"*It’s because I come from a mixed race family—my dad’s black and my mom’s white—so growing up my dad was listening to a ton of old school rap and my mom was listening to a ton of ’90s grunge*"
—Halsey

### Sexuality and gender identity

In an interview with *Advocate* in January 2020 Halsey discussed their gender identity and said:

"*I don’t identify as nonbinary or gender-fluid. I don’t personally feel like I’m at the point in my life where I’m prepared to identify that way. Will that change? Possibly. I don’t know. But I’ve never felt any reason to change the way that I refer to my gender identity. My gender identity has always been super, super fluid. And I didn’t live in a place that was very forgiving of that.*"
—Halsey with *Advocate*

In her first book of poetry, *I Would Leave Me If I Could.*, Halsey openly discussed her struggles with sexual assault, mental illness, body image, gender dysmorphia, gender identity. In an *Instagram* post on February 19, 2021 she talked about how their pregnancy leveled their "perception of gender entirely." On March 13, 2021 Halsey updated their social media biography and announced that their pronouns are she/they. She thanked her fans with an Instagram post the same day, saying “thank u.”

Halsey's father's name is Chris and he works at a car dealership as an automobile manufacturer. Halsey stated that she had a turbulent childhood, and hinted at her childhood hardships in some songs. Her mother has bipolar disorder, the same disorder Halsey was diagnosed with. She stated that her mother was "As likely to feed her ice cream for dinner as she was to throw things at her". Growing up, Halsey's family didn't have a lot of money. Her parents both dropped out of college to take care of them, and had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Their family frequently moved towns to find work, leaving her ability to make friends compromised. At age 17, she tried to commit suicide by overdosing on over-the-counter drugs, and was forcibly hospitalised for 2 weeks.

On January 27, 2021, Halsey announced that she was pregnant and expecting a child with Alev Aydin. Ender Ridley Aydin was born on July 14, 2021. Halsey captioned the Instagram post "Gratitude. For the most “rare” and euphoric birth. Powered by love. Ender Ridley Aydin 7/14/2021". It was reported in April 2023, by Page Six that from court documents, Halsey and Aydin broke up. The court documents show a request from Halsey for Halsey and Alev to have joint physical custody so that Halsey can freely travel for tour with their son. In June 2023, Halsey took their son on tour for a series of string ensemble shows, an Instagram post shows her holding Ender near the mic stand with a mic in his hand.

### Health & Struggles

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Halsey stated that she had a miscarriage in 2015, hours before she went onstage for a Vevo LIFT performance. Halsey said that she couldn't cancel the show because it was 3 million impressions, so they put on an adult diaper and performed. She said that "It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life."

Halsey has bipolar disorder. They were diagnosed with this mental disorder at the age of seventeen, stating that their mother also has it. When Halsey was seventeen she attempted to commit suicide, this led to her diagnosis and a seventeen-day admission to a psychiatric hospital. It was not long after their suicide attempt that Halsey began having success in the music industry. They have stated that singing and performing has helped their manage the symptoms they experience from having bipolar disorder. Despite the struggles Halsey has faced as a result of this mood disorder, they have said that they embraces being bipolar because it makes her "really empathetic".

In January 2021, Halsey broke their metatarsal bones, they posted on their TikTok account how they broke them, followed by a photo of her going to get it treated and wearing a black walking boot.

In May 2022, Halsey revealed that their medical issues became severely worse after they got pregnant and subsequently gave birth to their son, Ender. Halsey was diagnosed with Ehlers-Dahlos syndrome (EDS), Sjogren's syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). To debunk the claims circling around Twitter that the COVID-19 vaccine caused it, they stated that almost everything they were diagnosed with had been there before and had only become more surface level/active because they got pregnant and gave birth. They had just never received any diagnosis. Halsey stated *"I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times and had some other stuff going on. Basically, after seeing like 100,000 doctors, I got diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), [and] Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)."*

### Endometrisis

Halsey was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2016 and went public with it on their Twitter account, "Finding out that I had endo was the most bittersweet moment because it meant I wasn't crazy! I wasn't a 'baby!' I had every right to be feeling like the world was caving in. But it was terrifying to find out.". Halsey accredits a miscarriage she experienced in 2015 to her endometriosis, originally stating in 2016 that it was due to her hectic touring schedule. Only hours after Halsey realized she was having a miscarriage she went on stage to perform, while bleeding, during tour because she did not want to hurt her career by missing a performance. Halsey chronicled their struggles with endometriosis on the talk show *The Doctors* in April 2018, where she revealed she was going to freeze her eggs.

Halsey spoke out about her endometriosis once again along with the pain it causes, at the Blossom Ball which is run by the Endometriosis Foundation of America. At the Blossom Ball, she stated that, "Sometimes I'm bloated, I'm on an I.V., I'm sick, I'm on medicine, and I'm backstage, terrified that I'm going to bleed through my clothes in the middle of my show."[201] She told people who attended this event that she wanted to speak out because the media often portrays her as having perfect physical health despite her struggle with endometriosis. Halsey stated that in January 2017, she underwent surgery in an attempt to lessen the pain caused by the disorder. Halsey never disclosed what type of surgery she underwent.

In another interview with Rolling Stone, in May 2019, published in June 2019, Halsey stated “I feel like for a normal female performer, she’s like, ‘Fuck, I have my period. I have a show today.’ And for me, it’s like, ‘Fuck, I have my period. I hope I don’t have to go to the hospital.’ ”. For a long time, Halsey believed that her Endometriosis would stop her from having children, something that she has wanted. In April 2018, Halsey said she would be freezing her eggs, because they didn't believe that they could carry a baby to full term. In 2019, they got news from their doctor that she no longer had to freeze her eggs, “I was like, "Wait, what did you just say? Did you just say I can have kids?" It was like the reverse of finding out you have a terminal illness. I called my mom, crying.” Rolling Stones also wrote that 'Halsey now jokes with Maria about having a “pregnancy pact” in which they agree to get pregnant together. "Never mind. I don’t need to put out a third album. I’m just going to have a baby,” she announces.'
