On July 1, 2024, the singer shared a snippet of the track and revealed that it samples Britney Spears' 2000 single, "Lucky". On July 17, Halsey revealed that "Lucky" would be released on July 26. She also unveiled the song's cover art, depicting a "blurry, pink close-up of [her] face, featuring Y2K-inspired sparkles". On July 18, Halsey revealed that she got Spears' "blessing" to interpolate her 2000 single of the same name. The singer also wrote that the music video director is "gonna make everyone flip out".
