Discover Your Alter Ego Through Halsey’s New Single ‘Ego’ And Past Hits

Like us, you’ve probably grown up with Halsey. From blasting to Badlands as a teen to uncovering deeper parts of yourself for the first time with Manic. With ‘Ego’ building up anticipation for their upcoming album, The Great Impersonator (out October 27th), we’re excited to dive into this next era. The new album will show Halsey’s take on different perspectives, looks, and eras throughout time – ultimately exploring what artist Halsey would be if they existed in other decades. And with the latest single ‘Ego’ giving us a taste of what to expect, it had us wondering what our reader’s alter ‘Ego’ would be if we matched it to your favorite Halsey single. So, to celebrate the release of ‘Ego’ and the run-up to The Great Impersonator, let’s take a walk through Halsey’s eras and see which side of you each iconic track brings to life.

‘Ego’ – The Great Impersonator

We have to start with ‘Ego,’ the confessional track that’s got us hooked because it’s so brilliant in many ways. The song is deep, self-reflective, and totally unapologetic – perfect for when you’re channeling your alter ego. The 90s-inspired music video saw Halsey playing both lead roles, writing and producing the MV. If ‘Ego’ is your favorite single so far, your alter ego is definitely the devil on your shoulder – confident, a little rebellious, and never afraid to take up space. Just remember, even the fiercest egos need some love and balance.

‘Hurricane’ – Badlands

Throwback to Badlands, the era of Tumblr, and the ever-popular single from Halsey ‘Hurricane.’ This track defined an era; if it’s your ride-or-die, your alter ego is the ultimate main character. They thrive on attention, are totally driven by aesthetics, and are fiercely independent. As the song says, you’re all about avoiding attachments to people or places and creating yourself – but also not afraid to cause chaos along the way.

‘Now or Never’ – Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

If ‘Now or Never’ is your top song from Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, your alter ego helps you live in the moment. The track from this album is pure romance, and that’s why we see your alter ego as someone who helps you embrace the present and treasure those fleeting moments. Whether it’s love or life in general, your ‘Now or Never’ alter ego encourages you to live with an open heart and mind.

‘You should be sad’ – Manic

We can’t mention Halsey’s different eras without Manic and the anthemic single ‘You should be sad.’ This album hits those important themes like mental health, toxic relationships, and self-love. If this song speaks to you, your alter ego is the friend who guides you toward freedom and emotional clarity. They’ll help you confront the darkness and always have your best interest at heart.

‘I am not a woman, I’m a god’ – If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power

If your anthem from If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power is ‘I am not a woman, I’m a god,’ your alter ego channels some serious divine energy. This track, from an album that explores womanhood and pregnancy, highlights the balance between self-worth and vulnerability. If this is your favorite song, your alter ego is complex – full of self-awareness, strength, and ready to stand up for what’s right, no matter the cost.

With the release of The Great Impersonator just around the corner, we’re spending our days enjoying previous projects from Halsey. So, what track mentioned unlocks your inner alter ego?
