It was written alongside Billy Walks and producers Andrew Watt, Louis Bell, and Happy Perez.
"Die 4 Me" is Halsey's reworking of the original song with Post Malone and Future.
The song was written and produced with additions from Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat.
For example, the line "I sold fifteen million copies of a break-up note", referring to Halsey's largest song "Without Me", is updated to forty million copies.
Halsey had been performing her original verse of "Die For Me" on the Love and Power Tour, responding to fan demand for the full release of a demo of the song with only herself.
