"Afterlife", alternatively titled, "Afterlife (Dickinson)",[3] is a song by American singer-songwriter Hailee Steinfeld, being released as a single in promotion of the Apple TV+ original series Dickinson, also starring Steinfeld in the lead role.

[7][non-primary source needed] "This record has become one of my favorite songs I’ve worked on and sonically, it’s indicative of the direction I’m exploring with my new music.

There’s a line in the song that says ‘immortality is bliss’ and its reminiscent of a lot of Emily’s poems, She lived during a time where women were forbidden from voicing their opinions and restricted in many ways, including how they dressed.

I wanted the single art to reflect this idea too so the corset has an exaggerated cinch to represent how Emily in particular felt constricted and stifled.
