I can't get over this song. Easily one of my favorites from her of all time. The chorus is so incredibly infectious, the sound suits her voice so well, it has a great video to go with it... also the bridge and the harmonies just... it's amazing. I'm actually super excited for the album after hearing it. I was getting a little concerned from the previous tracks since they were airy and bright and stripped down which is alright, I liked them. But THIS is what the era needed. It's a perfect next single. Probably would've done the album wonders if it was the follow-up to "Without Me".
I've watched the music video everyday since Friday. The choreography, her looks, the visuals. It's one of her best easily. None of the other videos this era have the same replay value "You should be sad" has. "Finally // beautiful stranger" would be the closest thing, but even then it isn't even CLOSE to "You should be sad". "Graveyard" and "clementine" were low-budget and don't have the same replay value.
She did EVERYTHING right with releasing this track now. She has people talking and people streaming and buying. She's about to comeback from the underperformances that were "Nightmare" and "Graveyard", I feel it.

I mean... it's pretty obvious. Also I'm pretty sure they did want to have a baby so. Also DAMN at that update!!! I can see her aiming towards a Top 20-15 debut similar to "Nightmare"

Isn't the timing also a strong hint of it being about Eazy? IIRC she had a miscarriage during the hopeless fountain kingdom tour (and she was dating Eazy at the time hence I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you).

If that's the case then her being glad she suffered a miscarriage just because the to-be father was an ass is problematic as f**k. I don't think that's the case tbh. It's more likely she's referring to someone she envisioned having a family with in the future but she realised it wasn't going to work before even attempting to get pregnant.

Hold on; genuine question - how is it problematic? She might've been disappointed at the time but after all the sh!t she went through after that, she could be glad AFTERWARDS that it didn't work out and she didn't have to go through pain and stress that she could have. I don't think it's necessarily about her miscarriage, I think it's her overall being grateful that even if there were talks, she's glad it didn't happen and she wouldn't be suffering. Did this make any sense? I didn't wake up too long ago I'm still tired lol.

It's more likely she's referring to someone she envisioned having a family with in the future but she realised it wasn't going to work before even attempting to get pregnant. Hold on; genuine question - how is it problematic? A miscarriage is a violent and unpredictable incident. I wouldn't say I'm glad a fetus had to go through that just because the father was proven to be incapable of raising a child. And before some get it twisted because I know it might come, I am pro choice as long as there's rationality behind the choice. 'Oh he was s**t anyway' just doesn't cut it for me. A miscarriage is not even a choice though since it happens randomly unlike abortion which is a conscious decision. So yeah if she's indeed referring to her miscarriage I think she could word it a bit clearer.

As far as I know, this isn’t about a miscarriage, and even if it is, her feelings can’t be problematic because it was HER own fucking miscarriage, not yours. On Twitter, she made it fairly clear it wasn’t about Yungblud when she responded to pissy G-Eazy fans (“ I know this may come as a surprise to some people, but you don’t write the song the day before it’s released. the topics are relevant to the time the song was written. it’s visceral when it happens. the writing part helps it go away”).

I never said her feelings were problematic but the reasoning behind them might be confusing to a listener who only gets to know about her experiences through the lyrics she conveys. That's all. And even then yes I guess she meant 'I dodged a bullet' which I can respect.

This has grown on me! I think this should have been released after Without You.
For some reason she reminds me of Pink in the video.

I feel like this song came from a very dark, angry place. If it's indeed about said pregnancy, I'm sure she's not glad the fetus died, considering motherhood is a huge deal for her, and she has endometriosis, but maybe it was a very angry way to say "at least I'm not bound to you for the rest of my life".

More than that, it's realizing that someone that awful is not fit to be a parent to anyone and being glad that your child (should you ever have one) isn't genetically bound or reliant to that bullshit. In context to the lines surrounding it ('no, you're not half the man you think you are...'Cause you can't love nothing unless there's something in it for you') I'm not sure why that meaning is getting lost in the sauce. That was Halsey reflecting on the toxic situation she avoided for both herself and her potential family while being quite thorough in letting the subject of this song know that he ain't shit, never was shit, and ain't never gonna be shit.

While this country Halsey is not really my cup of tea (still gonna support the album because girl is hella talented and I have been a day 1 fan), home girl can express herself however the fuck she wants to. These are HER thoughts and HER feelings. She is admittedly messy and working it all out in her music. I applaud her.

She can’t help that she miscarried, but she can still be glad it didn’t work out in retrospect for a multitude of reasons. You make it sound like what happened is the equivalent of walking into the clinic and saying “that'll teach him to fuck with me”.

I’m not, the first half of your post doesn’t make sense because as you said, it wasn’t her choice to have the miscarriage. I’m not sure how you could be upset at her being glad it happened (without context) and talk about being pro choice unless it’s to say “fuck that guy” without a part of you feeling like she’s somehow responsible? It doesn’t add up otherwise.

I’m not sure how you could be upset at her being glad it happened (without context) and talk about being pro choice unless it’s to say “f**k that guy” without a part of you feeling like she’s somehow responsible? It doesn’t add up otherwise. Which is why I clarified that I am pro choice because I imagined the argument could shift from miscarriages to abortions real quick. It wasn't necessarily relevant to the lyrics. Just a little precautionary measure because it's a sensitive topic. Now, back to the song, of course she could realise after the miscarriage happened that raising a family with an asshole wasn't going to work in the long run but me, personally, would avoid the use of the word glad because that could be interpeted as feeling glad it didn't work out the exact moment the unwanted miscarriage was diagnosed which is a little f**ked up to me. Which is why in a subsequent post I said that if she was indeed referring to her miscarriage she could word it a bit clearer so as there would be no confusion as to which real life incident she herself shared inspired the song but since she didn't I assume she wasn't even referring to that as I also said in my original post. I never said her feelings were problematic but the reasoning behind them might be confusing to a listener who only gets to know about her experiences through the lyrics she conveys. That's all. And even then yes I guess she meant 'I dodged a bullet' which I can respect. The average listener wouldn’t think it’s about a miscarriage so I don’t see the point of this post I'm not an average listener as I own both of her albums and attended a show of hers but I'm also not following her the way internet stans typically do.
