In 2018, Halsey's single "Eastside," a collaboration with Benny Blanco and Khalid, found continued success, peaking within the top ten. Later that year, she was moved to Capitol Records, where she released her third studio album, Manic, in 2020. The album became her best-selling album worldwide, with lead single "Without Me" peaking at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving diamond certification by the RIAA.
Halsey has been open about her struggles with mental health, bipolar disorder, and miscarriage, using her platform to raise awareness and reduce stigma around these issues. She has also been an advocate for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ issues, and environmental causes.
