27 APRIL 2020 (TORONTO, ON) - Academy Award® nominated actress and multi-platinum recording artist Hailee Steinfeld has revealed that part 1 of her highly anticipated two-part project is titled Half Written Story and will be released next Friday, May 8 via Republic Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company.

See below for the full track listing.

“This project is a collection of songs that are so special to me and I’m incredibly proud of,” Hailee shares, “this is the first body of work I’ve put out since my debut project in 2016 and I can’t wait for everyone to hear these new songs.”

Hailee first revealed the two-part project last month with the release of “I Love You’s” which USA Today heralded as a “soaring break up anthem” and Glamour praised it as “upbeat and catchy – the perfect type of song to play on repeat.” The single has quickly amassed 22 million streams and has been featured on top playlists including Spotify’s Pop Rising, Mood Booster, and Fresh & Chill in addition to Apple Music’s A-List Pop, Heartbreak Pop, Everyday Hits and more. Shortly after single release, Hailee shared the “empowering” (Harper’s BAZAAR) official video for the single which she directed alongside Sarah McColgan and has nearly 4 million views already.

Part 2 will be released this summer.
