In a tweet announcing the upcoming release, Capitol tagged a message to the singer (born Ashley Frangipane).

‘— @halsey, we love you and are here to support you,’ it wrote, before noting the June 9 release date. 

In an attached statement, the label wrote, ‘We are an artist first company that encourages open dialogue.We have nothing but a desire to help each one of our artists succeed, and hope that we can continue to have these critical conversations.’

Halsey — who is nonbinary and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns — complemented the post with her own announcement on Instagram, in which they shared the single artwork, which featured a colorful snapshot of herself kissing a man.

‘Endy gave me my flowers,’ she concluded her caption, and a final sweet photo of her 10-month-son Ender playing with a bouquet of white roses.

She was crouched down on the floor with the little boy, who was turned away from the camera and wore a white Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt.

Halsey had on a beige floral-print dress and had their long blond hair tied back and cascading down their shoulders in frizzy waves.

Later on Tuesday morning, Halsey returned to TikTok, positivereasons where she first announced the hoops she had to jump through to get her single release.

In a silent video that she soundtracked with an excerpt of her new single, she stared into the camera while brushing her long hair.

‘After a tremendous amount of f*** s***, So Good is finally coming out June 9th,’ she wrote in captions, adding that a video would be released on June 10.

‘And now I can go back to using tiktok for my real plan — using witchcraft to take over the world,’ she joked, before thanking her fans for ‘keeping up with this fiasco.’

Earlier in May, Halsey claimed on TikTok that Capitol wouldn’t allow them to release their single without creating a ‘viral’ moment on social media.

‘I’ve been in this industry for eight years and I’ve sold over 165M records and my record company is saying I can’t release it unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok,’ she captioned a TikTok video.

‘Everything is marketing and they are doing this to every artist these days.I just want to release music, man and I deserve better TBH. I’m tired.’

A second video appeared to feature an audio recording of a record label executive suggesting that she release the single artwork shortly, but without a release date attached.

‘I just hate this,’ she added at the end of the recording, which he sounded sympathetic to. 

They received an outpouring of support from fans after releasing the TikToks, which may have created the viral moment they were seeking.

Other fans suggested this was an insidious new trend in the music industry by adding social media posts from other artists, including Charli XCX and Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, complaining that they had to have viral moments before they could release music.
