Background

The collection of poetry was announced on June 25, 2020 on Halsey's social media profiles.[3] She told her fans that she "wrote a few thousand sentences but am somehow struggling to string together a single one to summarize how excited [she is] about this."[3] The book has 144 pages and features around 83 poems.[4][5]

Retailers all feature the same description of the book:

"Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder.

In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.

Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice.

Halsey also stated that the book is written from an Ashley POV instead of Halsey.[6]. She also stated that "a good chunk of it is about [her] life before [she] was 'Halsey'." But there’s a lot of present day insights too that [she] do[es]n’t often get to express. [Her] feelings on family, loneliness, power, gender and sexuality, and longing."[7]

Moreover, Halsey has also stated that she has written many more poems and that if people like this book that she would release another one.[8][9]
