Halsey has added three extra tracks to their 2021 release, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.
The record, Halsey’s fourth, came out in August 2021. In its original incarnation, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power featured 13 songs across 43 minutes, including the singles ‘I am not a woman, I’m a god’ and ‘You asked for this’. The extended version consists of 16 tracks across 55 minutes.
Among the new additions is ‘Nightmare’, which Halsey released as a standalone single in May 2019. ‘Nightmare’ was left off Halsey’s 2020 album, Manic, as well as the original version of If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, but appears twice on the extended edition.
The first version is the original single produced by Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and Happy Perez; the second version, titled ‘Nightmare – Reprise’, is a reboot featuring production from Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Reznor and Ross produced the entirety of If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power and co-wrote every song with Halsey. Producer Greg Kurstin is also credited as co-writer on ‘You asked for this’ and the album’s opening track, ‘The Tradition’.
Halsey, Kurstin, Reznor and Ross were responsible for writing the final track on the extended edition, ‘People disappear here’, again produced by Reznor and Ross. Check it out below.
