The video features all women, including Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and Debbie Harry. It shows Halsey performing for an energetic crowd as she sings about the frustrations of being female in 2019.

"I've been polite but won't be caught dead letting a man tell me what I should do with my bed," Halsey quoted the song on Twitter.

"'IM TIRED AND ANGRY, BUT SOMEBODY SHOULD BE,'" she added.

Halsey said "Nightmare" was inspired by her female fans.

"imagine getting onstage every night and seeing young women sweating mascara tears, lightning in their eyes, throwing elbows and raising fists, screaming till the veins in their necks raise under warm skin, and not being inspired by it," she wrote. "this song is about you, for you."

"Nightmare" is expected to appear on Halsey's forthcoming third studio album. The singer released Hopeless Fountain Kingdom in June 2017 and has since released the singles "Without Me" and "11 Minutes."
