Halsey has collaborated with Suga, also known as Agust D, for her album titled Manic, which has quite a few other songs in it as well. The name of the song is Suga's Interlude.

Apart from BTS' Suga, there are other artists too who are a part of her album like Fike, Alanis, and Dominic. However, it was Halsey's collaboration with Suga which raised a few eyebrows. This is because she chose Suga over BTS' lead singer RM, with whom she shares a close bond.
