Amy Lee teamed up with pop star Halsey for a powerful new ballad called “Hand That Feeds,” which appears on the soundtrack for the upcoming John Wick spinoff film, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, set to premiere on June 6. The track dropped on May 9, 2025, and the duo gave a live performance of the song at the Hollywood Bowl.

Amy Lee and pop powerhouse Halsey have joined forces for a hauntingly beautiful ballad titled “Hand That Feeds.” The track, released on May 9, 2025, is featured on the soundtrack for the highly anticipated John Wick spinoff film, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, which hits theaters on June 6.

“Hand That Feeds” blends Lee’s ethereal vocals and signature gothic rock sensibilities with Halsey’s raw emotional delivery, resulting in a cinematic soundscape that perfectly mirrors the stylized violence and emotional undercurrents of the John Wick universe. The song explores themes of betrayal, vengeance, and self-reclamation—hallmarks of the franchise and central to the journey of Rooney, the ballerina-assassin protagonist portrayed by Ana de Armas.

Produced by longtime Evanescence collaborator Will Hunt alongside synth-pop producer Lido, the track has drawn critical praise for its sweeping orchestration, melancholy piano lines, and chilling vocal harmonies. Lee and Halsey wrote the song together during a three-day retreat in Big Sur earlier this year, citing the film’s screenplay as a key source of inspiration.

To mark the release, the duo delivered a breathtaking live performance of “Hand That Feeds” at the Hollywood Bowl on May 9, backed by a full orchestra and a minimalist stage bathed in crimson and icy blue lights. The performance was met with a standing ovation and quickly went viral, sparking fan theories about whether the two artists might collaborate again in the future.

Speaking about the song, Amy Lee said, “There’s a pain and elegance in the character of Rooney that really resonated with both of us. We wanted to create something that felt both vulnerable and lethal.”

Halsey added, “Working with Amy was a dream. Her voice has this haunting quality that brings out a different side of me as an artist. We didn’t want to just make a soundtrack song—we wanted to make something that lives and breathes on its own.”

With “Hand That Feeds,” Lee and Halsey have not only crafted a standout addition to the Ballerina soundtrack but also sparked excitement for future genre-crossing collaborations. The track is currently climbing the charts and has become a favorite among both rock and pop fans alike.

“Hand That Feeds” is available now on all major streaming platforms. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina premieres in theaters nationwide on June 6.
