Released in October 2018, Halsey‘s breakup ballad “Without Me” became her first solo No. 1 hit when it topped the Billboard Hot 100 in January.

Halsey hailed the single as the most personal song she’s ever written and later confirmed that “Without Me” was inspired by her much-publicized split with rapper G-Eazy. The admission came as no surprise to her fans, whose speculation was fueled by the pop star’s Twitter posts and the song’s music video, which features a doppelgänger of the MC.

“The biggest lesson I learned was to make art, not headlines,” she told Glamour in January.

Found you when your heart was broke
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close (Keep you close)
I was afraid to leave you on your own

I say I’d catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then fuck ’em all (All)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me

Tell me how’s it feel sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why (Yeah, I don’t know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why (I don’t know why, yeah yeah)

Gave love ’bout a hundred tries (Hundred tries)
Just running from the demons in your mind
Then I took yours and made ’em mine (Made ’em mine)
I didn’t notice ’cause my love was blind

Said I’d catch you if you fall (Fall)
And if they laugh, then fuck ’em all (All)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me

Tell me how’s it feel sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why (Yeah, I don’t know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why, yeah

You don’t have to say just what you did
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how’s it feel (Oh-woah)

Tell me how’s it feel sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why (Yeah, I don’t know why)
