"Hallucinogenics" came out on March 30, 2018 on Matt Maeson's EP The Hearse and later carried over to his debut album, Bank on the Funeral. He wrote it with James Flannigan, who produced it with Simone Felice and David Baron, and Cody LaPlant directed the video.
It's a moody, bruised piece of songwriting, and alternative radio took to it hard enough to put it at the top of several Billboard charts. A wave of remixes followed, stripped and electronic, and in September 2020 Atlantic released a new version with Lana Del Rey, a year after the two had sung it together on her tour stop in Oklahoma.
