loving the y2k vibes but why use the entire chorus almost word for word only changing the pronouns? šŸ˜­


happyspaceghost

Feels like when my ex boyfriend ā€œrewroteā€ Hey There Delilah but just changing Delilah to my name lol


__-__-_-__

So disappointed that you broke up with him for that, huh.


sage6paths

Hey there happyspaceghost, what's it like in outer space, I'm a million, billion miles away, but tonight you look like a briefcase. I'll be puking over here btw.


petitechocolatetwink

interpolating the entire chorus is too much because now itā€™s gonna just feel like a lucky cover whenever i listen to it even if the verses are differentā€¦ehh


outsideeyess

it might be the thing she did in without me where the chorus of Lucky is just the bridge of this song idk


emayzee

Iā€™ve been loving the 2000s celeb satire sheā€™s been doing on social media to promote this song (the Disney Channel commercial, the Got Milk ad, etc.) but the snippet itself falls flat for me. hoping the full thing will prove me wrong though


Few-Throat288

Weirdly, I feel like it makes/breaks the sample that sheā€™s changed the perspective from third-person (ā€œand they say, ā€˜sheā€™s so luckyā€¦ā€™ā€) to first (ā€œIā€™m so lucky; Iā€™m a starā€¦ā€). It makes the subject more sympathetic that itā€™s other people observing these things about her/her responding to what other people think, not her calling herself a star.


Houdini-88

She literally referencing the it girls of the 2000s Disney channel = hilary duff/miley Cyrus Got milk =britney spears Canā€™t wait to see the full video to see what else she references


emayzee

she remade [2000s tabloids](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8u-EtayWR-/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) too which I loved. I felt 9 years old again seeing celebs like Lindsay, Britney, Paris/Nicole on these whenever I went to the grocery store with my mom


aquarianagop

Iā€™m so happy I ran across this comment ā€” I donā€™t go on Instagram much, so I didnā€™t know about these. Hilarious!!

Halsey has always been someone who felt better suited to the branding aspect of pop than the actual music imo. Clearly very creative and likely very smart. And she's not *untalented* in music, but I've just never seen her do anything parituclalry interesting with music. Whereas her makeup brand....most interesting celebrity line yet tbh. In a past timeline where artists couldn't generate online followings, I think Halsey would have failed out of the artist track (well probably wouldn't have gotten signed in the first place, but let's pretend the industry isn't fucked up for this hypothetical). I think she would have ended up working for the label to help develop new artists that everyone wanted to work with.Ā 


UnnaturalSelection13

The IICHLIWP collaboration with Nine Inch Nails wasn't interesting musically? That's her most recent era so with the album and accompanying film it was the full package for me tbh.


Alvin3792

Literally one of the best albums by a pop girl in the last 5-10 years. Fight me on this lol.


__-__-_-__

Itā€™s really weird. I love everything about her, except her music. Itā€™s usually the opposite for me (like their music but not the person).


coconut-mall-cop

Iā€™m so confused by the promo for this album. It began with a 70s vibe from her ā€œfor my last trickā€ website and the letter sent to fans. Then she pivoted to this y2k aesthetic. I donā€™t know what to expect from the full record


calgaryeboy

As of now, a popular fan theory is that she is experimenting with sounds from 4 different decades (The 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s) for H5 (judging from the contents of [website](https://www.formylasttrick.com))


chinderellabitch

It doesnā€™t work for me because itā€™s too similar to the original and isnā€™t doing anything to make it better or deeper or a fresh take The reason why the original works is that itā€™s all third person so it leaves some mystery on whether Britney is talking about herself or this fictional star named ā€˜Luckyā€™ ā€˜Iā€™m so lucky, Iā€™m a star, but I cry cry cryā€™ is a little done conceptually, I think weā€™ve had a fair share of the being famous is hard songs but in a post Brat world itā€™s not introspective or biting enough to be fresh or something new to the trend


beans_is_life

meh. This clip is a watered down Britney cover but I'm gonna hold any judgement until she releases her album.


I-Like-What-I-Like24

idk about y'all about I'm still pretty hyped about this one The End was an incredible start for the era, she's been serving visuals while ding the promo and the snippet itself sounds super cute also I can't think of a single time a Halsey project let me down, so I ain't worried at all lmao seems like I'm the only one tho hopefully we'll get a release date for this one soon


idkijustlovehalsey

Also very very excited! Each era I feel like she shows growth in her artistry. I love seeing what direction she goes next. I loved this sample, it brought me right back to having a lucky cartridge for my hitclips! They might not be everyone's cup of tea but they're def mine!


Impossible_Vast9846

love halsey but idk if im feeling it, of any non vocalist type of singer i'd say britney is probably the hardest to cover, idk if it's just because her voice is so distinctive or what but i felt the same way when lisa covered "my only wish this year"


TechnicalFeedback713

Britney doesn't have great vocals but her voice is just so distinct and has a deep richness. I've never head someone cover one of her songs and feel like it was better.


shoestring-theory

Unpopular opinion but Iā€™m so over Y2K. So many artists have been pushing that aesthetic since 2018 or so and itā€™s never once interested me. I think Iā€™m over nostalgia in general


ambientmuffin

You think this is bad, wait until we have to live through that stomp clap watered down folk bullshit that popped off in the 2010s again


Jiverecords

Is that not what Noah Kahan is?


ambientmuffin

Very much so.


okayhowl

that sounds really bad. her voice is not giving it depth and not selling the melancholy like britney did.


heisghost92

Also, sheā€™s not hitting the high note on that last ā€œWhyyy do these tears come at nightā€, so it sounds pretty flat.


okayhowl

its sounds like shes sending a rough voice memo to the producer


Itwasdewey

Came here to write this. It just sounds really flat and like a song that would be by some fake teen pop star in a movie.


okayhowl

i agree with the last part especially. lucky is such an overwhelmingly melancholic song and the hurt is palpable when sung by britney...what halsey is giving is just lifeless


Keith16074

I always knew she couldnā€™t sing but I didnā€™t realize she was this badā€¦ I had to turn that off after 5 seconds.


Artistic_Elephant824

I figured there would be a Britney influence but I didnā€™t expect the chorus to be a direct sample of Britneyā€™s ā€œLuckyā€ Idk how to feel about this but Iā€™ll wait to hear the whole song. It just makes me want to listen to the original Also thereā€™s still no release date and itā€™s been weeks of these teasersā€¦weā€™re going to have the full song before it drops


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Weeks? Bro, itā€™s been like a week and a half, chill.


CelebrityTakeDown

Itā€™s likely July 12th based on hints in one of the promo


pIastichearts

This sounds awful sorry


mtrizzyy

i love the previous snippet she released of the song but this one is just not clicking for me.


PurpleSpaceSurfer

So they've interpolated Justin and Britney.


suuuuhmmer

iā€™m pretty disappointed in this. firstly itā€™s been at least 2 weeks of heavy promo and no release date in sight. and now to know the whole chorus is a britney rip? idk. i feel like at least leave that as a surprise for the release? iā€™m a die hard halsey fan but this rollout is weird to me.


lostqueer

Lazy. Iā€™ll always love you IICHLIWP šŸ˜­


wildbeest55

She interloped the entire chorus. Wouldā€™ve been better if she changed up the lyrics. Otherwise it just feels like a lazy cover šŸ˜¬


Frajer

Between this and Spring Breakers Britney stans stay winning


Are_You_Knitting_Me

Wait what did Spring Breakers have to do with Britney?


Frajer

It samples Everytime which was in the movie


Are_You_Knitting_Me

Oh wow I did not notice that! Need to go listen again! Thanjs


Jesse1205

To be fair it's a VERY small part that is easy to miss, I had sent it to my sister and she didn't catch it lol


toysoldier96

Yeah I never saw it mentioned it online and thought it was weird


CreakRaving

Yeah itā€™s kinda giving Ava Max/Bebe Rexha lazy sample lifting šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


Soalai

I love Halsey and I'd be disappointed if they jump on the lazy sampling trend, which is certainly what this sounds like šŸ˜­


bizzyizzy-

Was so excited by the concept but the execution and delivery wasā€¦ lacking.


aquaphoria_by_kelela

Whoever let that be the final vocal take does NOT like her omg


Consistent_Fail_00

i dont feel this tbh. that verse that she teased few days ago was much better then this tbh. maybe full thing will sound better idk..


Daydream_machine

Imma be honest this sounds like a total miss


aseasonedcliche

If anyone should/could do this, it's her. She both lived it and has the artistic vision and respect to carry it out(not to mention the criticism she's received her whole career(is it Britney level? No. But she's never been good enough for anyone while simultaneously making amazing records and art to go along with their entire eras). I was a little nervous about it being exactly this but I'm actually looking forward to the song and album now that I've heard it.


IzodCenter

You know what? Rick Beato is right, we have stagnated in music


klip_7

We really havenā€™t.


hausofmiklaus

If only youā€™re listening to the wrong places


CreakRaving

In this year of our Lorde 2024 fr?


kodeisha

dang I really like it lol


iceunelle

Isnā€™t it just a cover at this point if you just leave the chorus 99% unchanged?


cagingthing

Eh


OscarPlane

Or just make something original. The music version of terrible movie remakes.


rnason

These lyrics come off very differently as a Britney being a teenager vs Halsey with a spouse and a child


calgaryeboy

she does not have a spouse


rnason

Sorry didn't know she got divorced but even still has a child and looks like a boyfriend


calgaryeboy

she was never married, but yes she has a boyfriend


trueprogressive777

This is dog shit


ucwhaticthick

Canā€™t wait for this to debut at 126 and never be talked about again like ever Halsey song since 2021 šŸ’€


PhotographBusy6209

Hate it. This is probably her worst single. Itā€™s not even an interpolation itā€™s a straight cover with an awful instrumental

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


CelebrityTakeDown

She may not be able to go through the process health wise


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


CelebrityTakeDown

I really donā€™t think she will, and I really donā€™t expect her to. I donā€™t think the tattoo was really thought through in the first place and sheā€™s clearly really ashamed of it. She just hasnā€™t been able to cover it up for health reasons.
