The music video for "Lucky", written by Halsey and directed by Gia Coppola, premiered on YouTube on July 26, 2024.[7] Simon Rex, an American actor, stars as the singer's love interest.[7] The "Y2K-themed" visual depicts "a young girl who appears to be a fan of Halsey" and the singer with bright pink hair "grappling with the effects of young stardom". The little girl idolizes Halsey by "learning the dance moves and applying make-up in the mirror" to escape her "tense home life".[8] Despite their celebrity status, Halsey seems to experience the same loneliness as her fan.[7] The next scenes feature the singer "becom[ing] overwhelmed by the fame, argu[ing] in a hotel room with her boyfriend and reveal[ing] their shaved head beneath her wig before getting treatment for their illness".[7] The visual ends with Halsey "symbolically" sitting on a swing set next to the young fan, who is "unaware of the full story".[9] The video also pays homage to Britney Spears' music videos for "Lucky" and "Toxic".
Everybody, get in line to meet the girl who flew too high Who does it all just to be liked by strangers that she met online Did it all to be included, my self-loathing so deep-rooted Inner child that's unrecruited, the truth is I'm not suited for it When I die, I won't have time to spend my money But I hope that you still love me 'Cause I'm so lucky, I'm a star But I cry, cry, cry in my lonely heart, thinkin' "If there's nothin' missin' in my life Then why do these tears come at night?" (Why? Why?) Why they come? Why they come? Why they come? Why they come? And why she losin' so much weight? I heard it's from the drugs she ate And I feel her, but I can't relate 'Cause I'd never end up in that state A girl like that is a mother Must be tough, wildborn child, I was rough But what do you do with a difficult grown-up? When I die, I won't have time to spend my money But I hope that you still love me (Da-da-da-da-da) 'Cause I'm so lucky (I'm so lucky), I'm a star But I cry, cry, cry in my lonely heart, thinkin' "If there's nothin' missin' in my life Then why do these tears come at night?" I shaved my head four times because I wanted to And I did it one more time 'cause I got sick (I'm so lucky) And I thought I'd changed so much, nobody would notice it, but no one did And I left the doctor's office full of tears Became a single mom at my premiere And I told everybody I was fine for a whole damn year And that's the biggest lie of my career That I'm so lucky (Lucky), I'm a star But I cry, cry, cry in my lonely heart, thinkin' "If there's nothin' missin' in my life Then why do these tears come at night?" I'm so lucky (Lucky), I'm a star But I cry, cry, cry in my lonely heart, thinkin' "If there's nothin' missin' in my life Then why do these tears come at night?" She's so lucky, she's so lucky She's so lucky, she's so lucky, she's so Haven't you heard?
