Billie Eilish revealed that her new song “Lunch” helped her become her authentic self.
“I wrote some of it before I ever did anything with a girl, and I wrote the rest after,” Eilish, 22, said in an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, April 24th. “I’ve been in love with girls my whole life, but I just didn’t get it – until last year when I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
Eilish teased “Lunch” and other tracks from her upcoming third studio album. Hit me hard and soft, at a Do Labs Coachella party earlier this month. According to lucky fans who got a first look at “Lunch,” the track contains lyrics about a same-sex relationship, such as, “I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she’s dancing on my tongue / Tastes like that’s what she is.” .” one / And I can never get enough / I could buy you so much stuff / It’s a desire, not a crush.”
Eilish continued Rolling Stone that she never intended to talk about her sexuality “in a million years,” adding, “It’s really frustrating for me that it’s come to this.”
The singer was apparently referring to her profile from November 2023 diversity, in which she admitted that she was “really” attracted to women. The following month, she accused the network of outing her with the story, writing on Instagram: “Thank you Variety for my award and for outing me even at 11am on a red carpet instead of anything else to talk about what is important. I like boys and girls.” Leave me alone with that, please stream literally “What was I made for?” 🥸.”
At diversityEilish said in a red carpet interview that her sexuality was “obvious” and “didn’t know that people didn’t know.”
Eilish told Rolling Stone that at the time she felt like she had no “control” over the news of her sexuality being broken. “No one should be pressured to be one or the other, and I think there are a lot of labels everywhere looking for them,” she explained. “Dude, I know people who don’t know their sexuality until they’re in their 40s, 50s, or 60s. It takes a while to find yourself and I think it’s really unfair how the internet pushes you to talk about who you are and what you are.”
She continued: “I went into Billie Eilish interview mode, [like]”Oh, I don’t care.” Yeah, I’ll say whatever. Wasn’t that obvious?’ And after that I was like, ‘Wait.’ It wasn’t obvious to me.’”
Although he has a romantic connection with stars such as: Brandon Quention Adams, Matthew Tyler Vorce And Jesse Rutherford over the years, Eilish said Rolling Stone She is “only now beginning to understand myself.” She added: “And honestly what I said was funny because I really just said what they all said.”
The Oscar winner concluded the topic by saying that she’s “lucky to be in a time where I can say something like that and everything is going well for me. And that’s not a lot of people’s experience.”
Eilish’s new album Hit me hard and soft will be released on May 17th.
