The official music video for "Hurricane" premiered on October 16, 2014.[3][4] It was filmed at the Pink Motel in Los Angeles, which was also the location of her first music video for the song "Ghost". The video was singled out by Billboard Magazine for an exclusive debut.[5] It has since accumulated over 40 million views on YouTube.
Halsey drew her inspiration for "Hurricane" from the literary-fiction novel, The Wanderess, by Roman Payne (2013).[6][7]
The song is also dedicated to her friend Zach, an older guy she was seeing. Zach is also the inspiration behind a lot of Halsey's discography.[8]
