Halsey put "Nightmare" out through Capitol on May 17, 2019, with a Hannah Lux Davis video landing the same day and top 40 radio getting the single four days later. Halsey wrote it with the three producers who built it, Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and Happy Perez, and the writing credits stretch further still, to Trevor Horn and Martin Kierszenbaum.

It was supposed to launch Manic, the third album, until "Without Me" took its place and "Nightmare" was cut from the record entirely. Filed under pop-punk, it spent a couple of years as a stray before finding a home in 2021 as a bonus track on the extended edition of the fourth album, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power.
