00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Women are just, like, at the top right now.
7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,200
I mean, top of all the charts,
it's women, women, women.
8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,920
I mean, it's, like, the most
incredible thing for me to see.
9
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,880
With a style and attitude
that defies conventions
10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
and a unique sound
within the industry, it's
11
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.

92
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,480
After the success of her
SoundCloud singles, Billie, with
93
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,560
the help of Phineas and
his natural production
94
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,520
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
Look like you're having fun.
112
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,720
I'm not gonna look like
anybody except what I am.
113
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,400
I want to impress myself.
114
00:07:06,280 --> 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.

123
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,240
When speaking about
Bellyache, Eilish has said, I
124
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760
like writing about things that aren't real.
125
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
The song 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

140
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,440
In a glimpse into the future, the opening
141
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,720
track of the album, Copycat, showcased
a darker and edgier side to Billie.
142
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760
The song was Eilish's
response to people she
143
00:09:00,840 --> 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 later music.

148
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,720
Each track provided a
new and unique listening
149
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,560
experience for us, with
each sounding distinct from
150
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,280
one another and from 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.

176
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,280
The album's cover art
set the tone 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
186
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,840
casually yet diligently from home,
redefining the bedroom pop genre.

♪ She’ll want the devil on her team ♪
194
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Say we made this album in a
bedroom at our house that we grew up in,
195
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,000
and it was mastered in
somebody's living room,
196
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,600
so it's really like anything
is possible, honestly.
197
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,920
The standout track from this album
is Billie's signature song, Bad Guy.
198
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,160
♪ She’ll pity the men I know

♪ I'm the bad guy, duh ♪
208
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,040
With its throbbing bassline,
playful lyrics, and iconic
209
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,600
beat switch, it became an
instant phenomenon, equal
210
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,400
parts cheeky and sinister.
211
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,920
The famous duh was even recorded in her
212
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,960
brother's closet during
a laugh-filled session.
213
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,800
The track hit number one on the Billboard
214
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,200
Hot 100, cementing Billie
as a unique pop artist.
215
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,040
With over 2.5 billion Spotify streams, it
216
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,640
became iconic, defining
Billie in 2010's culture.
217
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Another memorable track
and arguably the centerpiece of
218
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.

00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,360

00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,400

♪ What are you wondering?
What do you know? ♪
225
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,520
The song delves into Billie's
imagination and introduced a darker,
226
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520
more introspective pop style.
227
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

♪ You should see me in a crown ♪
240
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
At the end of the album,
listeners are greeted with
241
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Goodbye, the closing track.
242
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,480
This hauntingly minimalist
song serves as a reflective
243
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,000
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 --> 00:18:14,080
greats, resonating far beyond the film.

Where Do We Go, and now No Time
294
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,280
To Die, Billie's accolades
and awards just 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 --> 00:22:42,280
♪ This city ♪
356
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:46,800

357
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,960

00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,280

♪ And all that you did ♪
361
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,000
Billie described the track as
being one of the most cathartic
362
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,080
she has ever written,
channeling all her frustration
363
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,880
and 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
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,680
♪ Friend or anything, damn ♪
379
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,240
♪ You think that you're the man ♪
380
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,880
♪ I think, therefore, I am ♪
381
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,920
♪ I’m not your friend or anything, damn ♪

00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,480
♪ You think that you’re the man ♪
383
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,960
♪ I think, therefore, I am ♪
384
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,680
The song is all about Billie shrugging off
385
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,880
societal expectations and
criticism towards her, reclaiming her
386
00:25:03,960 --> 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.

487
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,360
While not as groundbreaking
as her first 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 --> 00:35:14,600
being drawn by an invisible
force, enhancing the track's impact.

The track Lunch highlights
Billie's newfound sexuality with
539
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,440
bold, sexually-charged
lyrics directed at a nameless
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

The Diner, while not being one of the
563
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,080
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 narrative delves into
569
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,520
themes like obsession,
boundaries and the dangers of
570
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,320
such misplaced affection.
571
00:37:44,800 --> 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 said before
you can’t cope with anymore ♪
603
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,040
♪ You told me it was war, said
you’d show me what’s in store ♪
604
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,840
♪ I hope it’s not for sure,
can you open up the door? ♪
605
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Musically, the song
stands out from the others
606
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,440
with an ethereal ambience
and subtle jazz mixed
607
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?
