  • -Thank you so much. Welcome back to the show.

  • -Thanks for having me back. -Whenever.

  • I got to say congratulations to you.

  • Since last I saw you, you have a baby.

  • -I know. -A beautiful baby.

  • Congratulations. -Thank you.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Does he love it when Mom sings to him?

  • Do you sing lullabies? -Oh.

  • No. [ Laughter ]

  • No, he hates it. -Baby doesn't like it at all?

  • -No, he's my biggest critic. [ Laughter ]

  • -He's like, "You gotta work on that one."

  • -No, it's funny. My mom, she can't carry a tune in a bucket.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • It's really bad, and when she sings,

  • his eyes light up like she's the stars and the moon.

  • -He loves it. [ Audience aws ]

  • -But when I sing, he's not a fan.

  • [ Laughter ] -Is that, really?

  • -Not a fan. I get the...

  • -Oh, no. Yeah, don't cry.

  • Oh, no. I know that face. -Yeah.

  • -Yeah, you're -- Oh. -I'm like, "Alright. Okay."

  • Most kids would be really happy.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Are you loving being on tour?

  • This is the Love and Power Tour.

  • -Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -I love the poster. -Thank you.

  • Yeah, it's been really incredible.

  • It's been amazing. I miss touring so much.

  • And, you know, there was a minute there where I didn't know

  • if I was going to be able to do it for a while.

  • -Yeah. -And being back on the road

  • and seeing people in the crowd coming alive to the lyrics --

  • -That's part of you. -Yeah, it's incredible.

  • -Your new single is "So Good," by the way.

  • -Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Thank you. Yeah.

  • -"So Good." -The name is really, really

  • funny because when we're having conversations about it,

  • you know, I'll play it for somebody and they'll be like,

  • "Oh, it's so good." [ Laughter ]

  • -You're like, "No, literally, it's 'So Good.'"

  • -That's exactly what it is.

  • -Exactly, that's the name of the song.

  • But finally, the song is out. -Yeah.

  • -Does it feel good that the song is out?

  • -Yeah, it feels amazing. I think as an artist,

  • you just want to be able to release things. You know?

  • Like, music is such a cool industry because you have

  • the luxury to put stuff out as soon as it comes to you,

  • as soon as it's a thought and a feeling

  • and it's current to the moment.

  • So I was really, really keen to just kind of get this out now

  • while I was just feeling it. -It's a beautiful love song.

  • -Yeah, it is. I wrote it about my partner love.

  • Yeah, I did.

  • And he and I met in a really cool way.

  • -How?

  • -I met him in 2017

  • and he was hired to write a movie about me.

  • -Ooh. Oh, that's right. He's a director and a writer.

  • -Uh-huh. So he was hired to write a movie about me,

  • kind of like "8 Mile." Less spaghetti.

  • You know? [ Laughter ]

  • -Okay, yeah. -Yeah.

  • But I was going to wear the cool hoodie, though.

  • -Yeah, you have to.

  • -So he kind of followed me around on tour.

  • And he was interviewing me.

  • And after a couple of years of getting to know me,

  • one day I kind of sat down and I was like,

  • "Hey, you know everything about me.

  • I don't know anything about you.

  • I'm going to start interviewing you back."

  • And we found out that we had so much in common. -You fell in love.

  • -After being friends for a long time, we fell in love. Yeah.

  • -That's the best way to do it. -I know.

  • -That's the best way to do it. -I know.

  • -Come on, congratulations. [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Thank you. -That's the best way to do it.

  • To be friends, go like, "Hey, I just want to hang out with you."

  • -Yeah. -What happened to the biopic?

  • -Okay, well, there's a conflict of interest now

  • because he's a -- he's a main character.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • But he got to direct the music video instead,

  • which was really cool.

  • So it's kind of like a mini taste of what could be.

  • -I was thinking about who could play you.

  • -Oh, God.

  • I know the answer.

  • -Is it who I think it -- Ready?

  • Here's who I think should play you.

  • Well, this is you.

  • But this is you as Millie Bobby Brown.

  • [ Laughter ] -Oh, I was going to say you.

  • -Do you think I should play you?

  • -Yeah. [ Laughter ]

  • -What? No. -No?

  • -Millie Bobby Brown should play you. Yeah.

  • -I mean, yeah, Millie would be great.

  • But I don't really think I'm famous enough to cast Millie.

  • You'll do it though, right?

  • -Of course. [ Laughter ]

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -No, Millie would be so great.

  • Millie -- I mean, it's kind of uncanny how much we look alike.

  • It's like, "Oh, no. We actually just look like sisters."

  • -Yeah, you really do. -Yeah.

  • -I was just talking about you because the great Adam Sandler

  • was on our show last week. -Aw!

  • -And he loves you and he said that -- he told me that you

  • performed at his daughter's bat mitzvah.

  • -I did. I did. It was awesome. [ Audience aws ]

  • First of all, it was the craziest bat mitzvah

  • I've ever seen in my life. -Oh, yeah.

  • -As you would expect from Adam Sandler.

  • It was like -- I mean, it was like Coachella.

  • -Really? [ Laughter ]

  • -I couldn't believe it.

  • And also, I was like, "Wow, you guys booked me?"

  • I was really honored. But his daughters are great.

  • And he's so amazing. -Oh, so cute.

  • -It was a really cool full-circle moment too because

  • when I was a kid, his movies used to play in my house

  • all the time, right? -Yeah.

  • -And my dad is a huge golfer and loved "Happy Gilmore."

  • He used to watch it all the time.

  • And so my first sentence that I ever spoke in my life

  • was "Go home, ball."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah. -Is that right?

  • -Yeah, so I would run around like a baby.

  • Like, crawling around on the floor.

  • -"Go to your home." -"Go to your home, ball."

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -That's the best. -Yeah.

  • -That's your first sentence? -Yeah.

  • -I want to talk about your new makeup line.

  • -Oh, yeah, about-face. It's, like, the best --

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -This is something -- -The best idea I ever had.

  • -Speaking of something that you can't just do

  • and have it come out the same week,

  • this takes years of work and research and stuff.

  • So much work goes into it. -It is. Yeah.

  • Also, like, I'm a little -- I don't know.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Say it.

  • -Neurotic. -Yeah.

  • Like, controlling?

  • -Nnnn, in a good way.

  • I want everything to be perfect all of the time, you know?

  • -Wow. -So, I really spent a lot

  • of time just, like, meticulously working on the formulas.

  • -Like, how nerdy do you get when it comes to it?

  • -Ooh, nerdy. -Really?

  • -Yeah. "This has too much hyaluronic acid.

  • We need to reduce the amount

  • because the formula's too creamy." Yeah.

  • -Are you wearing a lab coat and goggles?

  • -I literally am acting like

  • I'm trying to, like, cure a disease in my basement.

  • -And you're making makeup just to make everyone feel better?

  • -Yeah. It's tough, though, because I'm a musician,

  • so I'm on stage.

  • So my products need to be so long wear, so good,

  • so high performance because if I get on stage

  • and my lipstick starts smearing all over the place,

  • people are like, "I'm not buying that."

  • -Exactly. Yeah, of course. -You know?

  • -It's got to work. -Yeah.

  • -Congrats on about-face. Congrats on the tour.

  • -Thank you. -Congrats on the new music.

  • And, of course, congrats on baby.

  • That's the greatest. -Aw, thank you so much.

  • -Halsey, everybody.

  • [ Cheers and applause ] We love you.

  • Halsey and I are playing "The Best Friends Challenge"

  • when we come back. Stick around.

-Thank you so much. Welcome back to the show.
