I am in love with Halsey's songs, especially "Colors". It is released on 9 February 2016 as her third single and it is also one of the songs from her debut studio album, "Badlands". The American singer explained the inspiration for the song during an interview with SiriusXM, “My song Colors is about being in a relationship with someone and kind of watching the vibrancy slowly start to leak out of them, watch the colors start to fade, whether they’re falling victim to drugs or falling victim to work or any sort of negative behavior that’s kind of taking them away from the bright and lively person that they used to be,” she explained. “You can kind of see them start to fade to gray, and you wish you had them back the way that they used to be.”

The music video was released on 25 February 2016 and it was directed by Tim Mattia. It features Halsey in blond wig, tennis clothing, cheerleader's uniform as well as a dress with cardigan. In the video, it is shown that she has a fling with the male character who is played by Tyler Posey. Nonetheless, there is a major plot twist at the end of the video when Tyler accidentally saw Halsey's Polaroid photos. Much to his surprised, Halsey was in love with Tyler's father instead of him! What do you think of the song? Watch the music video below if you have not done so already and do let me know your opinions of it in the comments below. Till then, au revoir!


Colors lyrics

Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope

I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old

You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink

(Mmmm)
Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I'm covered in the colors
Pulled apart at the seams
And it's blue
And it's blue

Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don't know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue

You were a vision in the morning when the light came through
I know I've only felt religion when I've lied with you
You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too
And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you

You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink

Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I'm covered in the colors
Pulled apart at the seams
And it's blue
And it's blue

Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don't know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue

You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue
You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
And you decided purple just wasn't for you

Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I'm covered in the colors
Pulled apart at the seams
And it's blue
And it's blue

Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don't know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue

Everything is blue
Everything is blue
Everything is blue
Everything is blue
