BTS’ Suga And Halsey Reunite With A Dark New Single And Video

Halsey and Suga are back with a new joint single titled “Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem),” which has brought the two artists together once again. With their latest cut, they may very well have another hit on their hands.

“Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem)” serves as the lead single from the upcoming video game Diablo IV, which is set to be released tomorrow. The song, accompanied by a must-see music video, only precedes the game’s launch by one day, which surely gets new fans excited for the forthcoming download.

Announced just a few days ago, fans can now listen to and purchase “Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem),” and they can also enjoy the exceedingly dark music video. It’s not what these two stars are known for, but the brooding, storm-the-castle aesthetic works well for both artists.

The company behind Diablo IV, Blizzard Entertainment, went all out for this one, reportedly shooting it in a very old church in France. As if bringing in two massive music stars and securing such a location wasn’t enough, the special effects in the video are excellent. In fact, they rival those seen in some major motion pictures. It’s clear that the video game company spared no expense, ensuring top-notch visuals.

“Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem)” is a slight reworking of Halsey’s song “Lilith” from her album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. Suga added a verse that combines both singing and rapping, which is characteristic of his style. He goes even darker than usual, delving into themes of hell and using explicit language—an element not commonly associated with BTS. This performance demonstrates Suga’s ability to differentiate his solo work from the music he creates with the band.

Halsey and Suga have been friends for years and have collaborated on multiple occasions. They first linked up when Halsey provided vocals for the hook of BTS’s single “Boy With Luv.” The song became an early top 10 hit for BTS on the Hot 100, marking a significant achievement for the band before they had reached No. 1.

Later, Halsey enlisted both BTS and Suga for her song “Suga’s Interlude” from her album Manic. Although the track didn’t become a Hot 100 hit, it performed well in its debut week sales-wise. Interestingly, the song credited both BTS and Suga separately, contributing to both their career totals.

The release of “Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem)” came at an unusual time, as the majority of new albums and songs typically drop on Fridays—the start of the chart week for Billboard. Consequently, Halsey and Suga may face challenges in terms of chart performance next week.

Despite the timing, given their popularity and influence, it is highly likely that “Lilith (DiabloIV Anthem)” will reach at least a few Billboard charts when they are refreshed in about a week. The song itself is expected to perform well on streaming platforms and in digital stores like iTunes. The music video has the potential to become one of the most popular videos globally for a period of time as followers of the two rush to watch.

Fans of Halsey and Suga, as well as those who love the game, are sure to tune in, resulting in numerous streams, views, and purchases that will contribute to the song’s debut on next week’s rankings.
