\n\tHalsey\u2019s so lucky, she\u2019s a star! The singer dropped her latest single, \u201cLucky,\u201d on Friday (July 26).<\/p>\n
\n\tThe song interpolates Britney Spears\u2019 2000 hit, \u201cLucky,\u201d an ode to the lonelier side of fame. \u201cI\u2019m so lucky, I\u2019m a star\/ But I cry, cry, cries in my lonely heart, thinking\/ If there\u2019s nothing missing in my life\/ Then why do these tears come at night?\u201d Halsey sings in the chorus, adding her own twist on the track.<\/p>\n
\n\tHalsey teased the song earlier this month with an Instagram snippet of the song\u2019s recognizable chorus. \u201cWhen I was 5, it always felt like Britney was singing directly to me,\u201d they wrote over the video rocking pink hair and a t-shirt that says \u201cLucky\u201d across the front. \u201c24 years later, these words hit different. love you forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAccording to the \u201cCloser\u201d singer, Spears was fully on board with the track being repurposed and interpolated. \u201cyes of course!\u201d they wrote on X Thursday (July 18) when asked by a fan whether the \u201cToxic\u201d musician had been involved.<\/p>\n
