Halsey's NSFW Justin Bieber Cover Is Exactly What You Need to Get You Through the Weekend

Halsey has quickly settled into her role as one of music's most badass chicks [1], and her NSFW cover of Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" only further proves why. The singer, who collaborated with Bieber on their duet "The Feeling" [2] for his latest album [3], Purpose, stopped by Australia's Triple J radio station on Thursday to perform her interpretation of his hit song (with one major, edgier change to the lyrics) and to discuss her relationship with Bieber.

"We performed ['The Feeling'] together actually for the first time ever [on the Today show]," she said. "You know, I was on stage, like in super baggy jeans, and I had like my short hair cut and like whatever else, and I'm singing on stage, and I'm thinking to myself, 'How cool is it that there are girls sitting at home watching the biggest male pop star in the world on stage with a girl who's not necessarily traditionally like feminine or traditionally beautiful or traditionally like whatever, you know what I mean?' And that was really, really cool for me because if I was that like short-haired, punk chick sitting at home who secretly loved Justin Bieber, I'd be like, 'YES, you go! You get that! You get that!' But I did not get that! I'm just saying."

Listen to her gorgeous version of "Love Yourself" above.
