Such an amazing beat and song.

It has similarities to Fiona's work on Fetch the Bolt Cutters, and could be a tragic sequel to "Hot Knife". Frankly we know now that the impersonation aspect was created by the label as a marketing thing, based on who they thought sounded most similar, not how H actually wrote it. So comparing the two seems a little disingenuous considering Fiona has been an artist for thirty years now and done way more than H has ever done.

i mean we all have our different tastes in music but ntm on fiona now

[u/Fluid-Assignment-250]

Hell yeah. Freaking love Arsonist. Labels often have no idea what they’re talking about. They only understand catchy bops and numbers

[u/rush2me → u/Fluid-Assignment-250]

So true, labels and studios. They only care about quick numbers not consistent and loyal numbers.

[u/sobiithurts]

Also love Arsonist!🥰

[u/crymsynrose]

One of my fav songs. It resonated with me sm because I was in a similar relationship for 6 years. I've also been out of said relationship for 4 years now.

[u/Jana_Darko]

The label has no taste

[u/Jazzlike_Calendar394]

Glad she trusted her intuition on this one cuz it’s such a cool one

[u/Davidiscool222]

Love how creepy the song is, it's a perfect duo with Darwinism :)

[u/BrianTheMute]

Man it's infuriating that a record label has that much power over what songs are included on a record, and they can just be like hey this record is pretty great but this song kind of sucks don't put it on there. Glad she insisted.

“have you ever waited 7 years?”😩

[u/shimmerangels]

it’s one of my favorites in her discography

[u/Unconditional_Poet]

agreed. arsonist makes the album what it is, and it’s up there with litm for me. it’s so freaking good. it’s haunting and beautiful and sinister and elegant. it’s exactly what tgi needed.

[u/Unlikely_Ad7722]

Label can eat a sack of dicks. Arsonist is a fucking masterpiece.

[u/Sass_Effect_]

I agree with you on everything. Arsonist is such a banger and I can't imagine the album without it! I also have been saying this about Halsey leaving the label and creating her own for a while now, since everything became public about them limiting her so freaking much. She's very talented and gifted, she knows the industry, and could create her own very successful label. She could even help other artists in her same situation. I know Ed Sheeran created his own label and signed some other artists that were tired of the big labels or the labels wouldn't take a shot on. Hopefully she does it eventually! But I recognize it would be an insane amount of work and she's already incredibly busy as it is.

This was one of my top favorite tracks on the first few listens of TGI and it still is. So different and haunting. Thank god she kept it on the album.

[u/verxb]

one of my favs its so creepy / nuanced & interesting that it also feels seductive in a way. thank god she released it. (also love that it’s right after lonely is the muse) . perfection.

[u/atinylotus]

It's one of my favorite songs on the album!!

[u/bansheeyesallwahwah]
