Directed by Peter Donaghy, the clip opens with a crib and a rocking horse. “I really was born at 9:29 a.m. on 9/29,” Halsey says with a laugh. “You think I’m lying but I’m being dead serious / Okay, I’ll prove it.” As the camera shifts to home video footage of her family, she sings: “Well who am I? I’m almost 25 / Can’t remember half the time that I’ve been alive.”

‘Manic’ was awarded four stars by NME when it was first released back in January, describing the singer as having always “kept her true personality partially obscured in her music. Here, though, she invites us into the world of Ashley Frangipane.”

Machine Gun Kelly and Halsey recently teamed up for a new pop-punk collaboration, ‘Forget Me Too’.
