Every source that reported on a relationship between Matty Healy and Halsey mentions that she might have written her song "Colors" because of their romance. Halsey sings about dating someone who uses substances. According to a Billboard article from 2018, Healy shared that he was using heroin, and he went to rehab.

If this is true, then it's possible that the singers didn't stay together because of what was going on in Healy's personal life. No one can be sure, though, unless they explain it themselves.

According to Capitalfm.com, Matty Healy's past relationships might have ended for a few different reasons. The website reported that Brooks broke up with Healy because he was on tour a lot with The 1975 and "partying." The website also said that he and FKA Twigs ended their relationship due to their professional schedules.

What Did Matty Healy And Halsey Say About Each Other?

Matty Healy hasn't talked about dating Halsey. He doesn't always mention his romantic life when giving interviews. Sometimes, though, the conversation does turn to who he's currently dating, and he does share a little bit.

Healy mentioned his personal life in a 2018 interview with Vulture. He said, "I’ve always been staring death in the face. Always an existentialist, a nihilist. I just wanna have a baby now. Then I’ll stop doing that."

When the reporter asked about his comment that he would become a parent, he said, "I’m too busy, but do you ever think that sometimes? God! Well, at least then me will go away! I’d like to become a vessel for somebody else’s happiness. That’s where I get meaning in life. I make music; it makes people happy. I find everything else a bit hard. I love my girlfriend."

According to Capitalfm.com, he began dating Gabriella Brooks in 2015 and they broke up in 2019. Since he gave that interview in 2018, it seems that he was referring to Brooks when he talked about "my girlfriend."

In 2015, Halsey talked about Matty Healy in an interview with Billboard. According to Us Weekly, she commented on his attention-grabbing personality and called him a "character." While Halsey didn't go into a lot of detail, it does sound like she and Healy felt that they had some things in common.

Halsey said, "We're both attracted to characters, and we saw that in each other. I spent a lot of time watching him and he spent a lot of time loving being watched. But if you think he’s the first red-wine-­drinking, pretty-boy rocker in skinny jeans I’ve been associated with, you’re out of your f—king mind.”

While he might not want to say anything about Halsey, she doesn't mind praising Healy's talents as a musician. In 2016, she was a guest host on the SiriusFM show HITBOUND and talked about The 1975.

She talked about seeing them perform and said, “There was this choir, and there was these lights, and the sun was going down, and Matty Healy had makeup all over him. It was crazy. But I think the winner of that show was definitely Adam, because he was wearing an incredible suit.”

It also doesn't sound like Halsey has any negative thoughts about Matty Healy. In 2019, she was interviewed on the YouTube Channel AskAnythingChat. According to PopBuzz, she talked about splitting up with Yungblud and said that she is able to maintain platonic relationships with people who she was once romantically involved with.

Halsey said, "Sometimes. People just break up. It doesn’t mean someone cheated or something bad happened or someone f—ed up. Sometimes. It just happens. Because life is constantly changing. And adults stay friends and move on."

Fans wonder if Healy wrote a song called "The Sound" based on his relationship with Halsey. Redditor @JohnnyT723 started a Reddit thread and asked what other people think.

They wrote, "Do you think The Sound is about Matty's relationship with Halsey? Based on what I saw with the lyrics to "Colors" and the Insta post by Halsey that described the nature of their relationship, I think it kind of is. Also, Halsey DID cover The Sound and changed many of the lyrics to make the song sound pretty cynical towards Matty."

While Matty Healy has never said that he wrote "The Sound" because of Halsey, it's interesting that she sang her own version of it. Of course, it's impossible to know if she did that on purpose because she knew the song was about her, or if she was just a fan of it.

Both singers have definitely moved on in the years since people think that they dated. People reported that Halsey and Alev Aydin broke up in April 2023. According to E! News, Healy appeared to have gotten back together with Meredith Mickelson in the summer of 2023.
