929 by Halsey Song Info
“929” takes its name from Halsey’s birthday, September 29, 1994. A section of the song’s lyrics were revealed in Rolling Stone’s review of Manic, published 3 days before its release. Halsey first teased the song on Instagram on August 10, 2019, posting a picture of a new tattoo on her hand: the numbers “929.” The image was initially captioned “🎂track 16,” spurring fans to speculate about her then untitled album. Halsey later edited the caption to “🎂track 16 / TRACK 2,” connecting to the album’s third single, “clementine,” which was released on September 29, 2019, her 25th birthday. “A stream of consciousness ranting confessional. This one was almost like a freestyle in the booth. I barely wrote anything down. I just started spilling all of my thoughts about myself and my fans and my family, and I admit so many faults and flaws all in one go. It’s forgiving, however, it ends with the acknowledgement that I am learning and growing, minute by minute.“ – Halsey, via Spotify’s storyline feature
