The Real Meaning Of 1121 By Halsey

The pop star revealed their track "1121" commemorates the date November 21, 2020 — the day Halsey found out she was pregnant. "I was really sick and I thought that I had COVID," Halsey said of her experience that day in an August 27 Instagram live. "But I was just pregnant," she laughed. In a tweet commemorating the date's anniversary, Halsey called November 21 a "very nostalgic day indeeeeeed."

"I won't die for love / But ever since I met you / You could have my heart / And I would break it for you," Halsey sings about their love for her future child on "1121." While Halsey expresses she's head over heels for her baby in the "1121" lyrics, the song also goes deeper into her pregnancy journey. Halsey described the context of the song in her film in a tweet. "It's the funeral scene in the movie because it was the moment I buried my past trauma in favor of a better future," Halsey said.

The pop star's road to pregnancy was indeed traumatic, as she revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that they suffered a miscarriage almost immediately before performing on stage in 2016. "It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," Halsey recalled of her miscarriage to Rolling Stone. On "1121," Halsey expresses their fear of suffering another pregnancy loss, singing: "Please don't leave (I'm runnin' out of time to tell you) / Don't leave me in the shape you left me."
