About this song

  • “Ghost” appears on Halsey's debut album, Badlands, it was originally released as a single from Room 93, her first EP. Halsey mentions in her Spotify Commentary that this was the first song she wrote in a studio, along with her friend Dylan Scott of Young Rising Sons. For her sound, she said she wanted “church-y, scary, shimmery.” She claims this song became her signature and branched the sound of the Halsey project. From an interview with Metrolyrics: "Ghost,” for me, is a song about being in a relationship with someone who is not emotionally invested and then finally making up your mind to leave that situation and decide that you deserve better. And I did." A music video was released for the Room 93 version of “Ghost” on October 27th, 2014, followed by a revamped version exclusively released on The Fader on June 11th, 2015. The opening Japanese dialogue in the new video roughly translates to: "As I look back at the past together with her, suddenly she starts to disappear. Maybe she never really existed." .
