Suga's Interlude (Suga stylized in all upper case) is a song by Halsey that was released on December 6, 2019. It serves as the second promotional single for her upcoming third album Manic along with her other song "Finally // Beautiful Stranger" being released on the same day.
The track features vocals from Min Yoongi, who goes by his rapper name Suga, from the K-pop group BTS. This is the second collaboration between BTS and Halsey with the first one being "Boy With Luv".
Lyrically, Suga's Interlude is a emotional dreamlike song that recounts the experience of falling in and out of love with music. Both of the artists take turns expressing their passionate about their work of art while also dealing with the overtones of the music industry looming over them.
Halsey opens up with the lyrics:
I've been trying all my life
To separate the time
In between the having it all
And giving it up, yeah
Then, Suga comes in on the first verse rapping:
Ayy, this wandering, with only blueness inside my head
Self-loathing and pride live in my heart
I was full of dreams, then I grew and made all of it come true
Yet keeping dreams as dreams would be better
I thought, while living at the same time
May my leap not be a fall
Your convictions, efforts, faith, and greeds
It is not of ugliness, I believe it, ayy
The dawn before sunrise is darker than anything
But never forget the stars you hope for only appear in the dark
On the chorus, Halsey sings:
I wonder what's in store
If I don't love it anymore (Hey)
Stuck between the having it all
And giving it up, yeah
Oh my gosh, you guys. This song by Halsey and Suga is so beautiful. I love the lyrics, production and the whole meaning behind the track. I am glad that the singer released this along with "Finally // Beautiful Stranger" together. Within each song that Halsey releases from the album, we are starting to see another side of her that we have never seen before.
