HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – Penyanyi Amerika, Halsey, meraih kesuksesan besar lewat single hitnya yang berjudul Without Me, yang dirilis pada Oktober 2018. Lagu ini tidak hanya mendominasi tangga lagu di berbagai negara, tetapi juga menjadi karya pribadi yang menyentuh hati banyak penggemar karena liriknya yang penuh emosi dan kisah yang sangat pribadi.
“Without Me” terinspirasi dari pengalaman pribadi Halsey setelah putus cinta. Banyak yang berspekulasi bahwa lagu ini menggambarkan hubungan Halsey dengan mantan kekasihnya, rapper G-Eazy. Dalam wawancara, Halsey menyebut lagu ini sebagai satu-satunya lagu yang dia tulis dari perspektif dirinya sendiri, bukan sebagai alter egonya. Lirik lagu ini mencerminkan perasaan pengkhianatan dan rasa sakit setelah memberi segalanya dalam sebuah hubungan yang kemudian runtuh.
