Billie has dealt with depression and mental illness since she was a young teen, after a bad injury that ended her dancing career she genuinely thought her life was over. Then Finneas asked her to sing Ocean Eyes for him because he felt like his voice didn’t fit it well, and that tossed her into stardom almost overnight. She has spoken about trying to kill herself whilst on tour, one of the few times her and her brother weren’t sharing a hotel room. She has Tourettes which also adds to her troubles because she tries to keep it hidden while on stage, she isn’t physically strong due to her dance injury so she’s prone to breaking her ankles and pulling tendons in her calves. She’s had so many issues and Finneas has always been there, he is her favourite person. He once said at an award ceremony that people often say that he’s ’more than Billie Eilish’s brother’ but he wanted to set the record straight that all he ever wanted to be was Billie Eilish’s brother. Also I think you’d like the song and music video ‘Xanny’.

I’m not sure that you fully get the story. She dreamed that she killed herself (jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge) and no one screamed, they didn’t even notice, and they didn’t even care. They simply called her weak. But, when she woke from the dream, her brother was there and he told her as long as he was there, no one would hurt her. He wished he could change the way that she saw herself, and tells her that they don’t deserve her.

She honestly struggled with depression, cutting herself, thoughts of suicide, all kinds of things in the beginning of her Fame and that is actually what this song is about. Music brought her out of that and despite what people say about her, she continues to remain herself and be herself and her brother is there for her all the time. But yeah she did struggle with self-harm. She has body dysmorphia and a lot of other things that she very rarely talks about, including she had a p*** addiction. But anyway, great take on the video. Love it! Can't wait to see more. Billie Eilish is one of those artists that never lets you down no matter what song you listen to, you can relate to it in some way and apply it to your own life in some way and that is why her music touches so many people by the way, her new album drops on May 17th. Check out the song lunch It is definitely Billie at her core She even said in an apple music interview this would be the album that people would tell you to write but never release and that's what she did and now she's releasing it despite what people may think

Also, her live performance of Peggy Lee's "Fever" with the Count Basie Orchestra is something else. Cheers!

I’m excited for her new album, which is being released on 5/17. I know she’s going to be exploring her growth as an artist and a person, realizing & recognizing/acknowledging her (bi)-sexuality with the track called Lunch & she just directed her video for it. She directs all her videos, now, I think. My hope is that the album is seen for more than a coming out …. I hope her work continues to display growth and artistry and she continues to create amazing projects. Lunch already has a video done…. And she directs her own videos so this should be interesting. but more towards growth as a person and an artist and discovering themselves as a young person. She only 22.

I think you guys should look a little bit into the back story of this song (and what "I got everything I wanted" really means), and then go back and listen (on your own or on the channel) to Listen Before I Go. It's an older song and hearing both of them gives a picture of her depression over time. I'm a lot older than Billie is, and hearing an artist as young as she is actually write about these topics, knowing her fans her age are also struggling with similar issues, is incredible. I wish there was more of that when I was her age.
