Background and composition

[edit]

Written by Halsey, Jasper Sheff and Johnathan Carter Cunnigham, "Clementine" is a "stripped-back track, driven by simple piano tinkling and some subtle clunking for percussion". Halsey released the song on her twenty-fifth birthday.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

Whitney Shoemaker from Alternative Press wrote that "Halsey strips things down in her raw new track".[3] Mike Nied of Idolator wrote that the track "finds her at her most poetic over sparse keys", while writing that the song "doesn't exactly scream radio hit".[4]

Music video

[edit]
