00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,520 hard to deny that Billie Eilish has become 12 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,840 synonymous with the current pop culture. 13 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,160 Her music resonates with millions of fans around 14 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,600 the world, selling out arenas and stadiums, making 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,920 her one of the largest artists today. 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,960 With her biggest fan base being teenagers and 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,520 young adults, Billie will have a long-lasting 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,880 influence in the music industry for decades to come. 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,760 This is the story of how a young teenage girl broke the rules of music and 20 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,360 changed the game forever. 21 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,560 From bad guy to bossa nova, Billie, with 22 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,560 the help of her brother Finneas, have taken 23 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,840 the music world by storm with their unique presence. 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,320 And with four widely beloved and acclaimed albums, 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,680 all with distinct styles and themes, this brother 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720 sister combo have become a power duo in the industry. 27 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,040 And there is no stopping them now. 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Billie Eilish, Pirate Baird O'Connell, was born 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,840 on December 18, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. 30 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Raised in a household filled with creativity, Billie 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,640 was homeschooled alongside her brother by their parents, 32 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, both of 33 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,760 whom are also in the entertainment industry. 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Her middle name, which later went on to 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,680 become her stage name, Eilish, was originally meant to be her first name. 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,120 However, during her mother's pregnancy, her grandfather, William 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Baird, passed away. 38 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400 And so her parents decided to name their 39 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,640 daughter Billie after her late grandfather. 40 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800 They encouraged their children from a young age 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,720 to pursue any dream and career they wanted, 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,760 giving them freedom to express themselves and pursue different options. 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,200 Our parents were theater people before they were our parents. 44 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,080 And they met on a flight to Alaska to do regional theater in 1984. 45 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,520 And in the 90s, they got married to each other and they decided to start a 46 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,480 family, and they decided that it might be 47 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,880 a good idea to move from New York, 48 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,600 where they were doing plays, to Los Angeles 49 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,280 to maybe do some things that would make 50 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,720 some residual income, like film and television. 51 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,960 And that didn't work out at all. 52 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,520 And I think it underscored, as children, that 53 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,960 it was okay to have dreams that didn't 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,520 pan out the way that you thought they might. 55 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,880 At a young age, Billie was diagnosed with 56 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,120 Tourette syndrome and also synesthesia, a neurological condition 57 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,560 that causes people to have heightened senses or 58 00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,800 experience multiple senses at the same time, and 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880 most commonly, in Billie's case, linking colors to 60 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520 music, which is why, in her later discography, 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,320 each album has a very specific and unique color palette to it. 62 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,560 Billie's chosen career path, however, was entertainment, specifically 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,120 dancing, music, and acting. 64 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720 From a young age, Billie was involved in 65 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,760 music, creating melodies with her brother from just 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,000 age 6 and learning to play the ukulele a few years later. 67 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,600 Billie has said, I don't know how to function without music. 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,000 When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. 69 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040 It gives me courage and takes care of my mind. 70 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600 Billie wrote her first real song at just 71 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,000 11 years old, which was apparently about a zombie apocalypse. 72 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,440 Though her dancing would come to a sudden 73 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,160 conclusion when in 2016, a growth plate injury 74 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000 ended her dance career for good, causing her 75 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800 to decide to fully focus on recording music. 76 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,040 With the help of her brother, who by this point had been in his own band 77 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480 and producing his own music, she created a 78 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,600 small number of songs and put them up 79 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,040 onto the music streaming platform SoundCloud for free 80 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,000 at the age of just 13 years old. 81 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,040 The first songs they recorded together were called 82 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120 She's Broken and Fingers Crossed, the former written 83 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,480 by Phineas and the latter by Eilish. 84 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,240 These songs performed well, however. 85 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760 It was her next track, Ocean Eyes, that 86 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,160 would truly take off, skyrocketing her and her 87 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,920 brother into the mainstream's eyes and landing them a record deal. 88 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,320 ♪ I’ve never fallen

skills, went on to create and release her 95 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,200 first EP, Don't Smile at Me, in August of 2017. 96 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,680 Released through Darkroom and Interscope Records, Don't Smile 97 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,360 at Me proved to be a breakout hit album for the young Billie, with some of 98 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,600 the singles reaching up to top five on the charts. 99 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,560 The album featured catchy and soulful lyrics that 100 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920 dealt with everything from self-doubt, depression, and 101 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,200 even murder, all in the style that Billie has become known for. 102 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,480 The red and yellow palettes of the 103 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,200 cover was Billie's way of blending simplicity with 104 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,320 something bold and eye-catching. 105 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360 It wasn't polished or flashy. 106 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,560 It was just Billie. 107 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040 The phrase, don't smile at me, was Billie's 108 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,480 way of rejecting societal norms and expectations, especially being a woman. 109 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,480 She explained, everyone's taught to smile. 110 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Girls are like, look happy. 111 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,640

00:07:08,720 One of the biggest tracks on the album, 115 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,640 Bellyache, tells the story of a character who murdered their partner. 116 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,640 However, it's contrasted with an upbeat, almost playful melody. 117 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,120 ♪ I don’t mind ♪ 118 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,920 ♪ Where’s my mind ♪ 119 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000 ♪

is about not trusting anyone and 126 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280 then putting trust in yourself and realizing that 127 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,320 you don't know what you are doing either. 128 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,960 One of the more personal tracks on the 129 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960 album, I Don't Wanna Be You Anymore, is 130 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,240 an introspective ballad all about Billie's self-doubt and inner conflict. 131 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,720 Billie, when talking about this track, described it 132 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,400 as one of the hardest songs to write because it forced her to get into her 133 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,480 own head. 134 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,120 The raw emotion in her voice resonated with 135 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,560 many teen fans worldwide who saw their own 136 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,520 struggles reflected in her lyrics. 137 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,000 ♪ Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before ♪

00:09:03,640 felt kept copying everything she was doing. 144 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,560 This darker, edgier side is something that would 145 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,680 be explored much deeper in

her contemporaries. 151 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,000 If Don't Smile At Me Did Anything showed 152 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,920 the world that Eilish was on the scene and ready to take over the world. 153 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Billie Eilish's unique persona, marked by her baggy, 154 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,320 neon fashion and iconic blank stare, paired with 155 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 a fun, sarcastic personality, made her a fashion 156 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200 icon, inspiring many young girls. 157 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,720 Her distinct artistry, production, and melancholic pop vocals 158 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,800 captivated listeners, especially youth, with her debut album 159 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,320 showcasing her talent. 160 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,520 However, it was her next album that propelled her to greater heights. 161 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920 In 2019, Eilish released her first ever studio 162 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,200 album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 163 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,520 The album was game-changing. 164 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,840 Building on the momentum from her breakout EP, 165 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,440 Billie and her brother pushed boundaries with a 166 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,840 record that was bold, eerie, and unapologetically unique. 167 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,320 This darker, more haunting album further evolved the 168 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,200 style that Eilish has now become synonymous with. 169 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,840 With whispery vocals and dark synth tones, the 170 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,080 music was unlike anything else releasing at the time. 171 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,560 ♪ If teardrops could be bottled ♪ 172

perfectly, 177 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,480 featuring an image of Billie sitting on a 178 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,640 bed with an unsettling grin and pale eyes 179 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120 in a dimly lit room, giving it the 180 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,080 nightmarish and uncanny quality that was intended for this album. 181 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,560 Billie said that she was inspired by night 182 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,600 terrors she had in the past and horror films, including The Babadook. 183 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,200 Remarkably, this critically acclaimed album was recorded entirely 184 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,480 in Billie Eilish's bedroom with Phineas, often in their pajamas. 185 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Behind-the-scenes footage shows the duo working

00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,760 the album was Bury a Friend, which came 219 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,040 with a horror-tinged, creepy music video. 220 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,360 ♪ I wanna end me ♪

00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,080 You Should See Me in a Crown was 228 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,320 another standout, with haunting, minimalistic production and eerie vocals. 229 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160 Its hypnotic build leads to a menacing bass 230 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,120 drop, showcasing Billie's style and Finneas' cinematic, layered production. 231 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,600

piece on the whole album, weaving lyrics together 244 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,160 from every track that came before it, slowly as if waking up from a dream. 245 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,440 It was a very fitting and poignant way 246 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,720 to end this iconic and now legendary album. 247 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Needless to say, the album absolutely blew up 248 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,800 in popularity, thanks to its advertising on streaming 249 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,720 platforms and its huge marketing push, defining a 250 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400 generation and becoming one of the biggest albums 251 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,240 of the decade and one of the most iconic albums of all time. 252 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200 Eilish began earning her first major accolades in 253 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,160 2019, when she claimed wins at the MTV 254 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,280 Video Awards and American Music Awards and was 255 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,520 named Billboard's Woman of the Year. 256 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,720 But her big moment came at the January 257 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,880 2020 Grammys, when she became the first woman 258 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280 and the second artist overall to sweep the 259 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,200 big four categories of Album of the Year, 260 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,200 Record of the Year, Song of the Year, 261 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,200 and Best New Artist, adding Best Pop Vocal Album for good measure. 262 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,880 Eilish continued her winning streak when in 2021 263 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,160 she managed to land the prestigious opportunity to 264 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,760 create the new song for the latest James 265 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,200 Bond movie, No Time to Die, putting her 266 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,520 in the same league as other legendary artists 267 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,320 like Adele and Paul McCartney. 268 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,440 The song, of the same name as the 269 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840 movie itself, was released to critical acclaim and 270 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,720 won multiple awards for Eilish, including an Oscar for Best Original Song. 271 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,440 It's amazing, if I have to put it somehow. 272 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,240 It's completely a dream and incredible, and I'm speechless. 273 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,800 I mean, we really tried. 274 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,960 I think that we gave it a really good shot, and we wanted to pay respect 275 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,200 to all of the songs in the past and all of the, you know, the legacy 276 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,840 of the franchise and make sure to not 277 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,280 change anything or take anything away from what it has been. 278 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,960 And I mean, I feel good with how it went. 279 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,120 I don't know if the world does, but I feel really happy with it and very, 280 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,920 just, it's shocking. 281 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,360 It's a crazy thing to be part of. 282 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,880 This haunting, atmospheric piece blends heartbreak and resignation 283 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,000 with Billie's sultry tone, lush orchestration, and Bond theme motifs. 284 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,280 A timeless departure from her usual style, it 285 00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,280 showcased her range and ranks among the franchise's 286 00:18:11,360 -->

kept piling up. 295 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,200 With one big question on everyone's mind, what's next? 296 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,960 Um, what's next? 297 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,720 I don't know, be in this moment is all I'm thinking about. 298 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,840 But if I'm trying to think rationally, next, I don't know what is next. 299 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,280 I'm gonna just do whatever I feel, kinda. 300 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,880 I think I'm gonna, whatever I'm in the mood for is what I'm gonna go for. 301 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,640 In July of that same year, the question 302 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,080 was answered when Billie followed up her first 303 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,560 studio album and released her second full-length album, Happier Than Ever. 304 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,480 Unlike her first album, this one, while still 305 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,240 being melancholic and somber, was less nightmarish-themed. 306 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,480 Instead, it dealt with more real issues Billie 307 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,680 was having at the time, like her rise 308 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,760 to fame and challenges in her personal relationships. 309 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,600 She took great inspiration from the COVID pandemic, 310 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,600 as well as her recent breakup with rapper 7AMP. 311 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,080 The album infused lyrics with raw emotion and 312 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,080 power and embraced her femininity while still being 313 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,080 loyal to her signature style. 314 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 The cover art, with a vintage 1920s to 315 00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:21,480 30s Hollywood vibe and a golden color scheme, enhances its appeal. 316 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,880 Billie's blue eyes and single tear capture the 317 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,280 album's melancholy, while her blonde hair embodies the 318 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,320 brighter Hollywood starlet aesthetic she aimed for. 319 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Eilish's hair color had always been of huge 320 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:41,320 importance when coming across the themes and ideas 321 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,560 of each album, and this blonde hair gave 322 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,280 her the more brighter Hollywood starlet look she was going for. 323 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,200 During this time, Billie also radically changed her 324 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,120 appearance to match her new theme, with new 325 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,240 blonde hair and embracing her more feminine side, 326 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720 being willing to show more of her skin 327 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,680 and even modeling in a corset for Vogue, 328 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,160 a stark contrast from the baggy clothes and 329 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,560 completely covered up look she had before. 330 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,680 The beige, golden browns of this new style 331 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,480 gave her a vintage look, continuing the motif 332 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,400 of an old Hollywood look the album had. 333 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,880 The album title, Happier Than Ever, may seem 334 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,920 ironic given its themes of heartbreak and frustration, 335 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720 but Billie described it as therapeutic, helping her 336 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,200 heal, let go of toxicity, and embrace strength and happiness. 337 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,760 Like, right now, I'm wearing a tighter shirt, 338 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,000 and I'm wearing a more low-cut shirt, 339 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,560 and, like, you know, the older me would 340 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,920 have been like, ooh, please don't, but I like it. 341 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,400 It makes me feel good now. 342 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,600 People decided that that was who I was, 343 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,240 so it's really hard to change and grow 344 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,720 and mature and, like, become a human when 345 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240 people decided that you were one thing. 346 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,480 Moving away from her dark aesthetic, this era 347 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,600 showcased her introspection, vulnerability, and a more expansive sound. 348 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,520 The title track of the record, Happier Than 349 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,720 Ever, was easily the most popular because it 350 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,760 was so surprising to its listeners. 351 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,040 Beginning as a simple acoustic song that sounds 352 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,520 like it could have come from the radio 353 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,040 in the 1950s, eventually explodes into a loud 354 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:36,800 rock ballad with screaming vocals and angry lyrics. 355 00:22:40,000 -->

liberation into an erupting rock ballad and 364 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,280 resonating raw honesty to all her fans. 365 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,200 Another noticeable track on the album was Oxytocin. 366 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,240 This pulsing, high-energy, and sexually charged song 367 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,840 was a first for Billie. 368 00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,920 Providing sultry and provocative lyrics and an intense 369 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,920 electronic production, this was the first time Billie 370 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,320 had sang such a sexual, hypnotic, and intense song. 371 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,840 And to the fans, it paid off. 372 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,440 Happier than ever was Billie at her most experimental, 373 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480 and Oxytocin was a perfect example of this. 374 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,040 However, other tracks on the album explore different 375 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:28,600 genres like jazz, bossa nova, and other 1950s melodies. 376 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,560 Therefore I Am, another popular track from the 377 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,080 album, offered a more classic Billie. 378

00:25:05,960 narrative in the face of scrutiny. 387 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Something that was also talked about in another 388 00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:13,400 track on the album, Not My Responsibility. 389 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,680 A spoken word piece played over an eerie 390 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,920 instrumental as Billie talks directly to you, the 391 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,200 listener, letting out all the anger and disappointment 392 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,640 about the way she has been perceived by 393 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,560 people, and the objectification of women, despite at 394 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,480 the time of her first album's release, being just an underage girl. 395 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,440 This track also came with a short film 396 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,880 attached to it, uploaded to her YouTube channel. 397 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,880 This odd and eerie piece perfectly captures how 398 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,560 many women feel in today's world, and the 399 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,880 struggles they have every day about their body 400 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760 and how they are perceived by others, especially men. 401 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,640 If I wear what is comfortable. 402 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,040 If I shed the layers, I'm a slut. 403 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:27,600 Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it, and judge me for it. 404 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,440 Why? 405 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,760 After the huge success of Happier Than Ever, 406 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,520 Billie managed to land herself an exclusive special 407 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,480 with Disney Plus during the COVID-19 pandemic, 408 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,880 where she performed the album in its entirety 409 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800 with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl Amphitheater. 410 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,440 The film received critical acclaim, winning multiple awards, 411 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,840 with some even saying the performances were just 412 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 as good, if not better than the studio album. 413 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,920 Her first full arena tour came in 2022, 414 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520 appropriately named the Happier Than Ever Tour, and 415 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,240 was a huge success for Billie. 416 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Happier Than Ever overall was Billie at her 417 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,440 most experimental and self-confident. 418 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280 Ultimately, it serves as a beautiful and dreamlike 419 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,120 follow-up to the unattainable heights of the 420 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,400 nightmarish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 421 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Back in 2022, though, Billie surprised her fans 422 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,080 by releasing two new songs onto streaming services 423 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,080 without announcement under an EP named Guitar Songs. 424 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,240 These two songs, TV and The 30th, were 425 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520 sentimental songs backed by simple acoustic guitar. 426 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,360 TV explores the topics of abandonment and a 427 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,880 desire for numbness as a distraction from the 428 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,520 problems that plague the world, while The 30th 429 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,680 is a more personal track that, in the 430 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,400 past, Billie has refused to perform live. 431 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,720 It features lyrics centered around a car crash 432 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,720 that occurred on November 30th that almost killed her closest friend. 433 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,520 Both of these tracks, while being a big 434 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,680 surprise for fans, were widely met with a warm reception. 435 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,840 In 2023, Billie contributed the iconic What Was 436 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,120 I Made For to the Barbie movie. 437 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,400 The song, featured in a pivotal moment, became 438 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,040 a sensation, earning acclaim as one of the 439 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,240 year's best and winning multiple awards, including a 440 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080 Grammy, Academy Award, and Golden Globe. 441 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,400 I would really like to say that this 442 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,360 award and all of any recognition that this 443 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,800 song gets, I just want to dedicate to 444 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:29,360 anyone who is, you know, experiences hopelessness and 445 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,160 the feeling of existential dread and feeling like, 446 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,120 what's the point, and why am I here, and what am I doing this for? 447 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,080 And I think we all feel like that 448 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,440 occasionally, but, you know, I think if somebody 449 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,760 like me, with the amount of privilege that 450 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:51,360 I have and the incredible things that I get to do and, you know, be, and 451 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,840 how I have really not wanted to be here. 452 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,080 Sorry to get dark, damn. 453 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:04,280 But I've spent a lot of time feeling that way, and I just want to say 454 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,040 that to anyone that feels that way, be 455 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,440 patient with yourself and know that it is, 456 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,120 I think, worth it all, and I think that it's good to be alive now. 457 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,560 And... 458 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,440 I didn't feel like that for a very 459 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,960 long time, and especially when we were asked to write this song, I was in a 460 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,120 dark, a dark episode, I guess, and things 461 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,640 didn't make sense, like life, I just didn't 462 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,280 understand what the point was and why, and 463 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,800 why you keep going and, you know, just 464 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,640 questioning everything in the world, and honestly, like, 465 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,160 going to see the movie and being shown 466 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,120 the small amount that we were shown, I 467 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,680 was sitting there next to Finneas, it was 468 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,080 just the two of us in this theatre, 469 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,400 basically, and I was just, like, watching Barbie. 470 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,560 Barbie! 471 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,160 Like, say and feel things that I really, 472 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,720 really, really resonated with and felt so close 473 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,600 to, and I felt so seen, and I did not expect that, and I think that 474 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,440 this movie is the most incredible, most empowering 475 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,800 and beautiful and funny and just unbelievable piece 476 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,800 of art in the world, and I'm so, so honored to be a part of it. 477 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,960 The song itself is a poignant, stripped-back 478 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,640 and introspective piano ballad that showcases Billy and 479 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:35,200 Finneas' emotional depth, lyrically speaking about indignity, belonging 480 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,680 and yearning for more. 481 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,960 ♪ Taking a drive, I

album, 488 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,640 it is seen as an important step in her growth as an artist and her rise 489 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600 to being one of the biggest stars in the music business. 490 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,240 On the 24th of May, 2024, Eilish would 491 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,440 release her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft. 492 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,800 Both Eilish and Finneas have talked at length 493 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,360 about how difficult the process was in making 494 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,920 the album, both lacking in creativity and feeling 495 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,480 conflicted in where to go with it, even arguing a lot. 496 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,880 They even considered stopping completely and not even making another album. 497 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320 However, after completing the first couple of songs, 498 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,200 Skinny and The Greatest, Eilish said she knew 499 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400 where they were going from that point on. 500 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,680 The album, while definitely still melancholic tonally, presents 501 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,760 lyrics that are much more upbeat, positive and 502 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,880 gentler than her previous two albums. 503 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,600 The cover art for the album is interesting to say the least. 504 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,440 Truly committed to her craft, she went through 505 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,200 a grueling six hours to complete the album 506 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,680 cover, where she was submerged in water, with 507 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,800 weights attached to her shoulders for up to 508 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200 two minutes at the time, which she later 509 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,000 on described as one of the most painful experiences of her life. 510 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,240 Billie has described the album as a cohesive 511 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,040 narrative, likening it to a family where no one track could stand alone. 512 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,880 This approach meant that for the first time 513 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,120 in her discography, there were no singles released 514 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,320 before the entire album dropped, meaning fans had 515 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,360 to experience its entirety upon release. 516 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,920 And so the tracks all follow similar themes 517 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,960 and ideas, centered around love, sexuality, identity and even abuse. 518 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,000 Birds of a Feather became the album's breakout 519 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,400 hit, blending airy vocals with an upbeat rhythm 520 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,440 to explore themes of love-bombing and obsession. 521 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,840 Hinting at Billie's personal life, including her bisexuality, 522 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,480 the song emphasizes loyalty and companionship to a 523 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,680 toxic degree, which Billie intended. 524 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,240 The emotional ballad crescendos into a powerful chorus, 525 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,120 showcasing Phineas' refined production. 526 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,400 Its simple yet striking music video features Billie 527 00:35:10,480

540 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,280 girl over a smooth, heavy bassline. 541 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960 Critics dubbed it experimental pop-punk, with its 542 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,520 pulsating beat reminiscent of bad guy. 543 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,560 The playful yet candid lyrics explore her queer 544 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:18,720 identity, confidence and body image, reflecting the happier -than-ever era. 545 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,840 Accompanied by a hip-hop-tinged music video 546 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,600 directed by Billie herself, the track became a 547 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,960 fan favorite in one of the album's most popular songs. 548 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,240 Eilish said about the track, I wrote some 549 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,840 of it before even doing anything with a girl and then wrote the rest after. 550 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,960 I've been in love with girls for my 551 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,200 whole life, but I just didn't

biggest tracks on the album in terms of 564 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,480 numbers, is still an important piece of this puzzle. 565 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,880 This song shows a different kind of obsession, 566 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,520 stalking. 567 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,760 A haunting track that is told from the 568 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,920 perspective of a stalker This

00:37:47,640 Through unsettling yet poetic lyrics and a catchy 572 00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:51,840 yet unnerving beat, Billie masterfully captures the delusions 573 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,080 of intimacy with a famous figure from the perspective of a stalker. 574 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,520 This theme resonates with the storytelling style found 575 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,480 in songs like Tyler, the Creator's Colossus or 576 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,440 even more famously, Eminem's Stan. 577 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,880 The Diner resonates with Billie on a personal 578 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,880 level as it reflects her fears and experiences 579 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,280 with stalkers in real life or creepy messages 580 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560 she has received online from people. 581 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,640 She has openly spoken about her unease and 582 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,720 fear caused by these encounters, which makes not 583 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,400 only the song an artistic expression of that 584 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,760 but also a commentary on the problem with fame. 585 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:43,760 Billie has spoken on this stating, “Fame is so weird. 586 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,320 It's just weird. 587 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,560 It's so strange that it's a thing and especially that I am involved. 588 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,960 I love my job, I really do. 589 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,680 I love what I get to do. 590 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,040 But there are a lot of elements that are very difficult to deal with.” 591 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,280 Apart from The Diner, Chihiro was the only other 592 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,960 song to get a music video, highlighting its 593 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,240 importance within this concept album. 594 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:10,680 Named after the character from critically acclaimed Japanese 595 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,760 animated movie Spirited Away, the song parallels the 596 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,920 film, navigating a surreal spirit world to rediscover Billie's identity. 597 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,680 Billie has described this track as blending her 598 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,960 own perspective with that of the film's main 599 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:33,200 character, exploring themes like vulnerability and self-discovery. 600 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:39,400 ♪ Serious, mm ♪ 601 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,680 ♪ Open up the door, can you open up the door? ♪ 602 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,840 ♪ I know you

00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,120 into its haunting melody, delving into themes like 608 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,480 loss and the personal toll of greed and selfishness. 609 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,040 It sees Billie feeling unseen, misunderstood and alone 610 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,720 as she searches the spirit and physical world for connection. 611 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,760 The song has since been celebrated for its 612 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,640 experimental and layered approach in storytelling and production, 613 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,600 making it a significant entry in her now iconic discography. 614 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,880 All of this goes to show just how 615 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,320 far Billie has come in both her songwriting 616 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,520 and production, with deep meanings to each and 617 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:52,280 every track she makes all woven together to create a true work of art. 618 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,000 Despite Hit Me Hard & Soft being the 619 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,240 hardest album for her and Phineas to create, 620 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,160 it has topped the charts and received critical 621 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:08,240 acclaim, being considered one of the best albums of the year. 622 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,520 With three albums and two Oscar-winning songs 623 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,600 crafted for high-profile films, Billie's distinctive and 624 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,680 unique presence in the music scene has captivated 625 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,600 audiences worldwide, solidifying her status as an era-defining 626 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,200 artist in the spotlight. 627 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,000 We've literally seen her grow up and mature 628 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,560 within her music and lyrics, going from an 629 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,400 edgy teen to a strong female artist within 630 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,280 the music world, all while keeping her charismatic 631 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,840 and likable character, image and persona. 632 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,400 From a teenager crafting music in her bedroom 633 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:59,720 to a global icon, Billie's story is one of relentless creativity. 634 00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:02,800 Her journey has always been about challenging the 635 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,080 status quo of women in society, pushing boundaries 636 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,600 as to what it means to be a female in the music scene in the modern day. 637 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,600 Eilish has said, in the public eye, girls and women with 638 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,040 strong perspectives are hated. 639 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,280 If you're a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. 640 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,280 There are still people who are afraid of 641 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,800 successful women, and that's so lame. 642 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,720 With the help of Finneas, Billie has managed to 643 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,280 redefine the music industry and with her still 644 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:40,040 being so early in her young life and career, her story is far from over, as 645 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,320 Billie continues to grow, evolve and create. 646 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,000 Who knows what's next for the bad guy?
