Although It Was A Previously Released Track The Revamped Studio Version Of “New Americana” Premiered On Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio Receiving Enormous Praise. DJ Zane Lowe Spun It Twice In A Row Because He Thought It Was That Good! It Became The Second-Most Played Song In The First Month Of The Radio Station’s Existence. Halsey Described “New Americana” As “a Social Commentary On Pop Culture.” "There Are A Lot Of Kids Out There Who Are Like “These Lyrics Are So Wack. It’s So Lame. I Bet She Wasn’t Raised On Biggie And Nirvana.” This Is A Satire. I Sat Down To Write This Song Like “I’m Writing A Song That’s A Social Commentary On Pop Culture. I’m Gonna Make This As Pop Culture-Y As Possible.” And I Think That I Achieved That Because People Are Tweeting Me Saying It’s Too Pop Culture-Y. That Is Also A Cheeky Tongue-In-Cheek Way Of Saying My Dad’s Black And My Mom’s White."
- Halsey Paper Magazine Before Performing The Song In Philadelphia In June Of 2015 Halsey Said It’s Not About Smoking Weed And Listening To Rap Music But Rather About “a Generation That Is Unafraid Of Diversity.” In An Interview With Last.Fm She Made Some Remarks About The Track "It's About America's Tendencies To Latch Onto Diversity And How Pop Culture Has Shaped Us As A Nation.
