She told a journalist that "they understand that I didn't become the nice Church girl they wanted me to be." As for her songwriting, she says, "I've always written about my feelings." She says Die Another Day is about sex, drugs and girls.

i'll be fine
Beatrice Eli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard she makes you happy
I really hope she's not prettier than me
And if she is
I hope at least she's crazy
While you're at it why
Not go that extra mile
Do that whole thing 'til God do us part
You should get a big old house
Where your kids can run around
Don't think of me
I'll be fine
I thought we'd be forever
Like we would die together
Now I'm out chasing girls who can't commit
While you're getting busy with your new brunnette
But all that aside
I'm happy that you're moving on
I'm gon' find somebody too
A hundred times better version of you
My love's gon' be like
You've never been in my life
Don't think of me
I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Don't need your sympathy
I'm doing great
Life's a party
Yeah happy days
No don't you pity me
I'll be ok
Life's a party
Yeah happy days
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Beatrice Eli's song "I'll Be Fine" is about moving on after a relationship ends. She hears that her ex-boyfriend has found another girl who makes him happy and hopes that the other girl isn't prettier than her, and if she is, at least she's crazy. She encourages him to go all out and give his heart to this girl and have a big old house where their kids can run around. Beatrice assures him that she will be fine and she has moved on.
The song then takes a turn where Beatrice talks about how she thought they would be together forever and that they would die together. However, now she's out chasing girls who can't commit, while he's getting busy with his new brunette. Despite this, she's happy that he's moving on and finds it's time to move on herself. She affirms that she will find someone who is a hundred times better than him, and her love will be like he has never been in her life before. She ends the song with repeating “I'll be fine” indicating her strength and determination to survive the breakup and grow even stronger than before.
Overall, the song is about celebrating the idea of moving on and finding happiness after a heartbreak. Beatrice's way of saying that she'll be fine, is a call to herself and others to not let heartbreaks define them. Instead, they should let it be a push to grow and find the best versions of themselves.

I heard you met somebody
I'm aware you found someone new
I heard she makes you happy
I know she makes you smile
I really hope she's not prettier than me
I hope you don't prefer her looks over mine
And if she is
I hope at least she's crazy
But if she's better looking, at least let her have a wild personality
While you're at it why
Not go that extra mile
You should let her have your heart
Do that whole thing 'til God do us part
You should get a big old house
Where your kids can run around
Since you're moving on, why not fully commit? Give her your heart, build a family, and live in a big home
Don't think of me
I'll be fine
And don't worry about me, I'll be okay
I thought we'd be forever
Like we would die together
Now I'm out chasing girls who can't commit
While you're getting busy with your new brunette
I once believed we'd never separate, but now I'm dating unreliable people while you're with your new girlfriend
But all that aside
I'm happy that you're moving on
I'm gon' find somebody too
A hundred times better version of you
My love's gon' be like
You've never been in my life
Don't think of me
I'll be fine
However, I'm still happy for you and I'll find someone better than you. Someone who makes me forget you ever existed
Don't need your sympathy
I'm doing great
Life's a party
Yeah happy days
No don't you pity me
I'll be ok
Life's a party
Yeah happy days
I don't need your pity, I'm living life to the fullest and having fun
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
Oh I'll be fine
So don't worry about me, I'll be fine
