Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (stylized in all lowercase) is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Halsey. It was released on June 2, 2017, through Astralwerks. The album features guest appearances from Quavo, Lauren Jauregui and Cashmere Cat. Halsey co-wrote every song on the album, while production was handled by Lido and Benny Blanco, among others. The record was described by Halsey as having more "radio friendly music" when compared to her previous releases. As a result, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is primarily a pop, electropop, R&B, and synth-pop record.

Following its release, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and the Canadian Albums Chart. In the United States, it was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA. In support of the album, Halsey embarked on the Hopeless Fountain Kingdom Tour (2017–2018).

The lead single, "Now or Never", was released on April 4, 2017. It peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking Halsey's first top-twenty entry on the chart as a lead artist. It also became Halsey's first track as a lead artist to earn multi-Platinum status; it was certified double Platinum by the RIAA. The second single, "Bad at Love", peaked at number five on the Hot 100; at the time, it was Halsey's highest peak as a lead artist on the chart. The song was certified quintuple Platinum by the RIAA. The third and final single, "Alone", reached number 66 on the Hot 100, being certified Platinum by the RIAA and reaching number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart.
