Hopefully, fans of Diablo, Suga, and myself will love Lilith's embrace.”- Halsey shared on social media, “Collabed with SUGA of BTS on a reimagined version of “Lilith” for the #DiabloIV anthem and it goes incredibly hard... Diablo IV. we both grew up playing the games and I've always wanted to do a concept with SUGA with this type of dark mythology, so it was a no brainer tbh.”

Blizzard Entertainment Rod Fergusson added, “This anthem for Diablo IV is a beautiful culmination of Halsey and Suga's passion for the world of Diablo and what it represents. Their re-interpretation of Halsey's 'Lilith' from all angles - as a sound, as a piece of art, as a narrative - takes you right into the desperate world of Sanctuary and the resolute spirit it takes to fight your demons, whatever form they may take.” - source : Apple Music
