Top 10 Best Halsey Songs
Halsey is one of those artists who can make you feel everything all at once. From heart-wrenching ballads to explosive anthems, she has a song for every mood, every phase, and every late-night overthinking session.You probably first heard her name around 2014 when she uploaded Ghost to SoundCloud and caught the attention of just about everyone who mattered in the music industry. That one song led to a record deal, an EP (Room 93), and then her debut album, Badlands, in 2015. From there, things moved fast. One minute she was building a cult following with moody, rebellious tracks, and the next she was topping the charts with Closer, her massive collaboration with The Chainsmokers.
Since then, she's only expanded her sound, her storytelling, and her fanbase. One album she's crafting alt-pop anthems with cinematic world-building, and the next she's dropping raw, stripped-down songs that cut right to the core. She's taken on everything from electropop and punk-rock energy to country influences, proving she's not here to fit neatly into any one category.
But what's her best song? That's where you come in. Cast your vote and see how your favorites stack up.
OMG, Halsey is an AMAZING singer! I honestly don't know who doesn't like her music. Her voice matches ALL of the songs she does, and it sounds BEAUTIFUL!
I mean, I know everybody has their own opinion, and I respect that, but now it's time to speak MY opinion. I've been IN LOVE with Halsey and her music ever since I was like 8! Her song "Colors" was the first song I heard from her, and I loved listening to it.
It was music to my ears. Now I'm almost 14, and I'm still listening to her music. So, this is why I don't get why people hate her. If you have only listened to one of her songs, it doesn't mean she's a "bad artist." She writes SO MANY different songs, so don't just listen to one and start talking trash about her.
Try to listen to her other songs before you say she's trash. But hunny, if you listen to her songs, trust me, you will be IN LOVE with her music.
I listen to the nightcore version. This is one of those songs you have to ration out to yourself: you like it so much, you play it over and over until it's ruined for you. I have done this loads of times.
Great song! I love the chorus. And the verses. And everything.
You're low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline.
Gasoline is such a great song, with a great meaning to go along with it. The lyrics actually make you think, the beat is fantastic, and I love everything about this song.
I could listen to Gasoline all day, and it would never stop being so meaningful and addicting. I can really connect to the lyrics, which are, by the way, amazing.
I love absolutely everything about Roman Holiday. The first few lines just captivate me, then the chorus is so powerful, and the lyrics are just perfect. The beat of this song is also wonderful, and the way she is so specific about all that happened that night is amazing.
This song is the best song she has ever written, and I think it should be her most popular one.
"Do you remember the taste of my lips that night I stole a bit of my mother's perfume?"
Oh girl, the starting line is just utter perfection. I love this song!
I was a bit skeptical about Halsey, but the moment I heard this song, I fell in love with her music. This should be much higher up than #11.
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and I was like, "Whoa, this song is great!" Then I discovered Halsey and instantly fell in love.
A song that makes you think, but on the other hand, makes you want to sing along loudly while drunk. The genius that is Halsey.
I've listened to Halsey for a long time now, a few years, and I've taken this song through a lot. While I've gotten bored of repeating songs over and over, Ghost is one that I can never hear too much. I've listened to it through so many good times and bad times, and it was the first song I really learned how to perform on piano and vocals.
Honestly, it's such a beautiful song, and it deserves all the recognition it has.
Love the two music videos, kind of showing her bisexuality. And I love how people reacted to the second video even though she does the exact same thing just with a female.
Should be #1. The first time I heard this song was when Halsey performed as an opening act for Imagine Dragons. This song reminded me of something Lorde would write. I love Lorde! This song is truly amazing.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. The music is interesting, the lyrics fit well together, and it really fits her voice. It's so different from anything I've ever heard, yet so amazing.
I watch a Minecraft roleplay called Kingdoms Fallen. The intro is a section of a cover for this song. I started watching in 2020, and I only heard the cover first. When I heard the original, BOY was I impressed.
The vocals convey so much emotion. This is so poetic and often overlooked. There is genuine emotion and heartbreak. We never hear about the girl used for cheating and how she feels being used by a guy with a girlfriend. We only ever hear about the girl being cheated on.
I love how Halsey shows a new perspective, and that makes it so wonderful.
A simply beautiful song. It will take you to another place if you just close your eyes and listen. The drop at the end is as close as you can get to musical heaven. It really shows Halsey's talent, as she wrote and produced the song alone.
Although it does sound like Needed Me in the chorus, this is still a good song. In fact, I think this is actually almost as good as Needed Me.
If any song deserves to be in the top 3, this song would be one. Everything is perfect about this song. Find a flaw, dare ya!
Easy and laid-back song... I LOVE it. The words and beats have so much meaning.
The bisexual anthem of 2017. Halsey and Lauren destroyed the heteronormative music industry with one song. Absolutely my favorite Halsey song.
The lyrics in this song tell a great story about Halsey's past lovers, and this song overall sounds really good. The instrumental in the bridge is actually really nice. 9/10.
Badlands is a beautiful album, but this is my favorite song off of Hopeless Fountain Kingdom!
I remember when we all referred to this song as "The California Eyes" song.
The Newcomers
So many emotions, amazing beat, and great vocals by Halsey. The Juice WRLD remix just makes it even better. The backing vocals were amazing too. I instantly loved it. This is coming from a guy who's into rap music too. Probably my favorite song right now.
This song is amazing. I know it is personal to her, but she made it where others could enjoy it, and some people can even relate to it and fix problems in life.
This song has so much emotion. It just connects with each individual in their own way. The drop is just the cherry on top.
This, Gasoline, New Americana, Colors, and Hold Me Down are my favorites. I just love this song so much. Something about it makes me think. It's an amazing song, and it deserves more attention.
This song just makes me feel some sort of way. I love it. It just has this eerie and disturbing feel throughout the whole thing. I'm obsessed with it!
This has some weird feeling that makes you feel great. It has very powerful lyrics that I'm sure anyone can relate to. I absolutely love this!
The beat is fantastic in this song, and it is Halsey's best song, in my opinion. She is a lyrical mastermind, and her skills are really shown off in this song.
The beat is amazing. I love her voice. I can't get this song out of my head.
I love the beat of the song, Halsey's vocals are beyond perfection, and if you don't like profanity, then here is one song...
Young God is such a beautiful and calm song. The lyrics are meaningful and unique, which is another reason Halsey is such a talented person!
It covers deep meanings in such a happy tune. She's telling one of the best stories in one of her best songs. This is such an underrated song.
Halsey at her best. This is a song that can be appreciated over the years. Ageless.
The lyrics are so powerful and moving in this song. The song is extremely underrated. The sounds are amazing, and the chorus is amazing: "And all we do is drive. All we do is think about the feelings that we hide. All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign. Sick and full of pride. All we do is drive."
It represents a toxic relationship in which they are only able to understand each other not through communication but in silence.
This is an amazing song. It's beautiful and has meaningful lyrics. I mean, listen to this line: All we do is think about the feelings that we hide. 11/10
Undoubtedly one of the best songs by Halsey. The voices of G-Eazy and Halsey melt together to produce a beautiful song. Also, the music video brings another level of intimacy to the song.
Why is this song in this place? It's amazing. It's just... my body, my heart, and my soul are touched by this song.
"I'm wanderess, I'm a one-night stand, don't belong to no city, don't belong to no man. I'm the violence in the pouring rain, I'm a hurricane."
A song that tells the story of a young woman who doesn't "belong to no city, belong to no man." Such an empowering feminist song.
I heard another song with this title by another pop singer, but this one is SO much better.
Can't believe people don't like this song. It's my overall fave, relatable. I love the whole song so much.
Sorry if I made you feel like I'm standing on the borderline.
I'm listening to this as I write. Halsey's vocals sound amazing here, and the lyrics are great too. This song is heaven in hiding. 10/10
An eruption of energy and fierceness. Some of the finest work I have ever encountered.
Listen to this song and look at what you're finding. Halsey's music is heaven in hiding.
Underrated masterpiece. Every Halsey song is amazing, but this one has something that makes it special.
It has a dark undertone to it. It's intense and addictive.
This song should be number 1! It's so amazing and catchy.
This is one of her best songs. She should make more songs like this.
It's a sweet song and honey to my ears.
I just love the lyrics in her song Graveyard. I listen to this one a lot.
Edgy and dark with the strings accompanying. New favorite song!
Good song. The only thing I do not like is it's too short!
