"Poison" is an alternative dance pop rock song from the American adult animated musical comedy television series Hazbin Hotel. It is sung by the character Angel Dust (voiced by Blake Roman).
The song is featured in "Masquerade", the fourth episode of the show's first season. On January 5, 2024, the song was released as a single prior to the release of the first season, and has since accumulated 34 million views and 153 million streams, respectively, on YouTube and Spotify. The song also peaked at number two on the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.
The song is about the darkness involved in a psychologically abusive relationship, combined with how traumatizing a sexually abusive relationship is to a person, continuing themes from the 2020 Hazbin Hotel song and music video "Addict".
An official remix by The Living Tombstone (TLT), with a new hyperpop instrumental and featuring Joel Perez as Valentino, was released on April 1, 2024, Angel Dust's birthday.
Composition "Poison" is an alternative dance song set in the key of C minor, with a tempo of 150 beats per minute, and a chord progression of C minor, A, and F minor.
