"I'm going to look super hot and have lots of energy and I'm just going to get to redo my twenties in my thirties," they said.

"Today is day one of treatment," they said.

The lyrics of 'The End' detail some of what they've been through.

"Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick / Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks / And then they lay it on me / And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain," she sings. "When I met you, I said I would never die / But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time."

Halsey has previously spoken about their ongoing battle with endometriosis.
