Halsey’s new single will not be released by their record label until they “fake a viral moment on TikTok”
Backstage from their tour rehearsals on Monday evening (23 May), Halsey revealed that their latest single is being stalled by their record company Capitol Records.
Their new song, the name of which is yet to be announced, is all set for release. According to Halsey’s Twitter, the music video is already complete and the singer is waiting for a release date from the label.
Yet, Halsey implies that Capitol Records itself is still unlikely to release the record without the singer faking a “viral moment” on TikTok.
In the TikTok video, Halsey stated in text over a video of themselves listening to the track: “Basically I have a song that I love that I wanna release ASAP, but my record label won’t let me.” The star added: “I’ve been in this industry for eight years and I’ve sold over 165 million records and my record company is saying I can’t release unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok.
