Letter to God (1998) Lyrics
Lyrics from Snippet
Please, God, is it busy up there?
You took a little while to respond to my prayer
Please, God, no, this doesn’t seem fair
I’m tryin’ not to show it but I’m terribly scared

About Album (The Great Impersonator)
Halsey’s fifth album, The Great Impersonator, will be available on October 25, 2024. After 2021’s If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, this will be Halsey’s debut release on Columbia Records. On April 29, after it was announced that they were leaving Capitol Records in the middle of April 2023, Halsey posted a picture of themselves in the studio to their Instagram account, confirming that they were recording new songs. “And I didn’t even have to ask permission,” she wrote. The news that Halsey has formally signed with Columbia Records was released on June 14, 2023. On August 27, the album’s title and trailer were unveiled. On September 4, the album’s artwork and release date were disclosed on social media. On September 25, one month before the album’s release, the tracklist was made public.
After a gig in Mumbai, India on January 27, 2024, they launched a website called FOR MY LAST TRICK to begin teasing the album. Halsey revealed they have begun work on new music in a Tumblr post, writing, “I want you to know that I am hard at work. I’m working on some of my favorite creations to date. In some respects, it feels like my debut all over again. In an interview with X on July 18, a little more than a week before the second single was released, Halsey disclosed that the album is “all over the place” in genre and that they “wrote a lot about what [they were] going through.”
“The End,” an acoustic song about their struggles with mental and physical health difficulties but also falling in love, was Halsey’s first single to be released. The second single from the album, a cover of Britney Spears’ “Lucky” from 2000, was made available on July 26. On August 15, the third single, “Lonely is the Muse,” was made available. “Ego” was released on September 6 following its London premiere. Fifteen days before the album was released, “I Never Loved You” was made available.
