The album came many months after the music star was away from the spotlight for a while. Halsey had been preparing to welcome daughter Ender Ridley Aydin and keeping up with fans on social media.

Also, when Swift faced public drama regarding her music label, Halsey stood by her. Due to their close bond, fans have an inclination that Swift probably made her cute signature silk baby blanket for Halsey's child.

In a statement, The "Graveyard" singer shared that the collection portrayed the message of the "joys and horrors" of pregnancy and childbirth as it was released a month after they welcomed Ender.

The album also has an accompanying film experience written by Halsey. The cover art was in itself a phenomenal entity, as it bore an image of Halsey sitting on a "Game of Thrones-styled throne."

The singer, who donned a regal silk lavender gown styled by Law Roach, had one part of their body and breast exposed while a child sat on their lap. Their head was adorned with a gold crown as they stared off in the distance.

Explaining the meaning behind the provocative cover, the singer shared in a statement that they wished for the album cover to convey the "sentiment" of their pregnancy journey in the past few months.

The "Castle" crooner noted that their concept was to depict the idea that one could be a sexual being and a vessel for childbirth. Halsey noted that they wanted to carry off the message that both theories could co-exist.
