Halsey has delivered the continuation of her two previous music videos, "Now or Never" and "Bad at Love". The 23-year-old songstress unveiled a music video for her poignant track "Sorry" on Friday, February 2.
The visuals, which was directed by Halsey and Sing J Lee, features the singer roaming around a dystopian-esque wasteland after a car crash. Sporting the same outfits from "Bad at Love" music video, Halsey sings about a past relationship with her face covered in blood. This time, the creepy fortuneteller from the previous visuals doesn't make an appearance.
"So I'm sorry to my unknown lover/ Sorry that I can't believe/ That anybody ever really/ Starts to fall in love with me," she rhymes. "Sorry to my unknown lover/ Sorry I could be so blind/ Didn't mean to leave you/ And all of the things that we had behind."
Shortly after the release of the clip, Halsey took to Twitter to explain the meaning behind her music video. "Sorry is a sort of fever dream," so she began. "So many of Luna's loved ones get killed at the tunnel in NoN fighting for her romance. She feels guilty/selfish and is reflecting on the people that lost their lives fighting in the name of love."

She continued in a follow-up tweet, "It's an apology to those who were victims of the violence, 'hate can't solve what it began.' Luna and Solis were meant to fulfill a prophecy, but after the chaos, Luna wonders if she wants anything to do with the prophecy at all."
