About“Without Me” is the first new song released by Halsey since her 2017 album, hopeless fountain kingdom. The track is directed at her ex G-Eazy after she was “cheated on in front of the entire world, like, a billion times.” This song dives into the personal feelings of Halsey after being a very public relationship. The track is different to her earlier conceptual records Badlands and hopeless fountain kingdom, due to the fact there was no role to play It’s the most raw thing I’ve ever made… Here, I have this record where it’s just me, no character. It’s about my life and my relationship that the world has watched so closely… It’s just me. The song premiered on Zane Lowe’s “World Record” on Beats 1 Radio, and was followed by an interview with the artist about “Without Me”. In that interview, Halsey stated that the song was not going to be part of a future album, and described it as a “stand-alone record;” however, on 13 September 2019, “Without Me” was revealed to be track 9 on her third studio album Manic.

But now I feel proud. And empowered. via TwitterWhat does the cover art symbolize?Although the cover art was never officially explained by Halsey, it can likely be interpreted as the juxtaposition of life and death. Drawing from the song’s themes the skull on the cover art likely symbolizes past hurt and the death of past relationships or even a past version of herself she’s shedding. The butterfly is more representative of current Ashley – depicting growth and life that has come from past hurt. As a butterfly metamorphizes from a caterpillar, Ashley has used her past hurt to change into the person she is today. This theme is further re-enforced with the butterfly in bright orange representing the present and the background in more muted, dark colors representing the past. The butterfly image appears through the hopeless fountain kingdom era and was included in the cover art for her single “Bad at Love”. The butterfly is also the symbol of the fictional House of Spera which is a rival family in the story-line of hopeless fountain kingdom. Halsey also has a butterfly tattoo on her arm.
