Half Written Story is the second extended play (EP) by American singer Hailee Steinfeld, released on May 8, 2020, through Republic Records. The pop EP is Steinfeld's first release since her debut EP Haiz in November 2015. It was initially intended to be the first half of a two-part project, but the idea was later scrapped. The EP was recorded from January 2017 to April 2020, and was produced by Koz, David Stewart, D'Mile, and the 23rd.
The EP was preceded by two singles, "Wrong Direction" and "I Love You's". "Wrong Direction" peaked within the top 10 of the Official Aotearoa Music Charts in New Zealand and was certified Gold in Brazil and Canada. "I Love You's" was less successful, peaking at number 14 on the chart. Upon its release, the EP garnered a mixed reception from music critics, but would peak within the top 10 of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, with a position at number 3.
