Marshmello - Be Kind (with Halsey)
[Verse 1]
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That you don't have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That even when you're stone cold, you're sorry
Tell me why you gotta be so outta your mind, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night
[Chorus]
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
[Verse 2]
I know you need, I know you need
The upper hand even when we aren't fighting
'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave
But if you're gonna fight, then do it for me
I know you're built to love, but broken down, so just try, yeah
“Be Kind” is an empowering song that questions the motives of a significant other in a relationship. Instead of fully committing to the relationship, the person seems to be searching for something new. Amidst all of this, Halsey reassures this person she’d be there to support them. It’s likely this song is about rapper G-Eazy who Halsey previously dated. It was reported that G-Eazy cheated on Halsey, which could serve as inspiration for this song. The song marks the first collaboration between the two popstars. Rumors of the song surfaced online on April 24, 2020, with the artists confirming the song less than a week later.
