Halsey And Juice WRLD Are A Match Made In Emo Heaven On 'Without Me' Remix

As if Halsey's week/month/year couldn't get any bigger, she's determined to celebrate her first solo No. 1 song, "Without Me," with a new remix featuring Juice WRLD.


Really, it was only a matter of time before these two linked up on wax. A couple months ago, Halsey covered the Chicago rapper's breakout hit "Lucid Dreams," seamlessly capturing his emo flow. Juice WRLD returns the favor this time, contributing an anguished verse to "Without Me" that correctly matches the song's somber groove and Halsey's heartbroken lyrics. Nevertheless hey, at least they have each other.


"I decline to perish / Not by your side / So I'll take what I can, then I'll hide / And save the lucid dreams for a different time he wails, adding, "I still hate it once you're not there / I know I should, I know I should, yet no I don't care."


Halsey reported the gripping, updated version of "Without Me" on Twitter a day before its release, suggesting it was actually Juice's idea to hop on the track. "Nothing quite like celebrating a #1 by having one of your preference artists ask to jump on," she tweeted, later adding, once the events that inspired 'Without Me' went down, this artist helped me through it all."


As we learned earlier this week, the original version of "Without Me" reached the best of Billboard's Hot 100 by dethroning Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" and leaving Halsey "speechless." Ari, for her part, was ever the cooperative friend, congratulating Halsey and vowing to do her part to have ladies rule the charts all year long. For now, so good.
