Hallucination (song)

Featuring a sample of the Filatov & Karas remix of Imany's single "Don't Be So Shy", it is an '80s-inspired and four-on-the-floor-driven disco-pop and synth-pop song, with the lyrics warning off serial heartbreakers.

Inspired by the 1969 psychological drama film They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, the video depicts the singer performing contemporary choreography in a dark setting.

[2] Musically, it is an English-language '80s-inspired and four-on-the-floor-driven disco-pop and synth-pop song,[3][4] featuring a sample of the Filatov & Karas remix of Imany's single "Don't Be So Shy" (2015).

While Cerys Kenneally of The Line of Best Fit labelled it as an "anthem", Isabel von Glahn from Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) highlighted the song's lyrics as "exciting" and noted its "club banger" potential.

[8] For Wyspa.fm, Przemysław Kokot complimented the song's blend of synth-pop as well as Alexander's "sensual" vocal delivery, and characterised it as an "flawlessly shimmering banger".

[25][26] A critic likened the concept of the video to that of British anthology series Black Mirror and South Korean survival drama Squid Game.

[26] Promo News' Rob Ulitski opined that "the video is a tour de force of creativity, wrapped in vibrant layers of choreography, post-apocalyptic styling and futuristic art direction, and emanates a minacious yet playful tone throughout".
