1) Billie Paul Piper (born Leanne Paul Piper on 22 September 1982) Billie Piper is an English actress. She began her career as a pop singer in her teens, but is now best known for portraying Rose Tyler, companion to the Doctor in the television series Doctor Who until mid 2008. Her role in Doctor Who has made her a household name in the United Kingdom.

Piper's first break in the entertainment world came as a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy & Co. Piper later landed a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits. Her role was to run up to the camera, blow a bubblegum bubble and shout "Pop!" Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to debut at number one in the UK singles chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie". Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also debuted at Number One, and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) debuted at Number 14 in the UK album charts. She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the Bee"; both songs debuted at Number 3.

Piper then took a year off to record her second album. She decided to release further records under her full name, Billie Piper. She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound. She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success wasn't to continue. She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside". That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart. The song "Walk of Life", the final single off this album, was released in December 2000 and reached Number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. This proved to be Piper's last musical release, a low-key exit from the world of pop.

In 1999, Piper was nominated for two Brit Awards and was named Best Female Star at the Smash Hits Poll Winners' party, although at the latter ceremony she was reduced to tears after being viciously booed by jealous fans of Ritchie Neville, member of boyband Five, whom she was dating at the time.

2) Billie is a french singer from Lyon. She recorded her first album "Le baiser" in 2014.

This is be
First class you know
This is be here,
Oh oh oh yeah

Nobody knows this but me
All I could see was someone
Who didn't love me for me

How could I have been so dumb
I tried to act like I knew
You never cared from the start
I gave you problems 'cause I
Knew that you gave me your heart

My baby my my baby
I want to come back home
My baby my my baby
Back to those open arms
I'm everything you want
Lord knows I'm everything you need
I'll be those promises
That you always said to me

If I told you I need you
I'm saying that I need you now
Saying I need you now
If I never told you I'm sorry
I'm saying that I'm sorry now
Saying I'm sorry now

And now I'm all alone
My friends don't understand
Said you can't have a good life
If you can't keep a good man
I was a fool back then
I tried to be miss strong
I let you go when you
Didn't do a damn thing wrong
My baby my my baby
I want to come back home
My baby my my baby
Back to those open arms
I'm everything you want
Lord knows I'm everything you need
I'll be those promises
That you always said to me

If I told you I need you
I'm saying that I need you now
Saying I need you now
If I never told you I'm sorry
I'm saying that I'm sorry now
Saying I'm sorry now

(Why? Why? Why did I let you go?)
Deep down you know you know I'm sorry
(Why? Why? Why did I let you go?)
Deep down you know you know I'm sorry

My baby my my baby
I want to come back home
My baby my my baby
Back to those open arms
I'm everything you want
Lord knows I'm everything you need
I'll be those promises
That you always said to me

If I told you I need you
I'm saying that I need you now
Saying I need you now
If I never told you I'm sorry

I'm saying that I'm sorry now
Saying I'm sorry now

Overall Meaning

The song "Saying I'm Sorry Now" by Billie Eilish is an emotional ballad about regret, love, and heartbreak. The opening lines of the song express a sense of excitement and anticipation, as if the singer is embarking on a new adventure ("This is be first class you know, this is be here, oh oh oh yeah"). However, the tone shifts quickly as the singer reveals that the relationship has already ended, and she is left alone with her feelings.

The following verses describe the singer's regret at not recognizing her partner's love for her earlier, and how she tried to fit into a mold that wasn't true to herself. She now acknowledges that he gave her his heart, but she gave him problems instead because she didn't understand his love. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to reconcile and come back home to her partner, promising to be everything he wants and needs.

The second verse highlights the singer's isolation and the judgment she's received from her friends for not being able to "keep a good man." She now realizes her mistake in letting her partner go, even though he didn't do anything wrong. The final chorus repeats the same theme of regret and apology, with an added bridge that pleads for forgiveness.

Overall, "Saying I'm Sorry Now" is a poignant reflection on the mistakes we make in love and our longing for redemption. The lyrics are especially powerful when combined with Billie Eilish's haunting vocals and sparse piano accompaniment.

Nobody knows this but me
I have been keeping this to myself

All I could see was someone
I saw what I wanted to see

Who didn't love me for me
But you didn’t truly love me for who I am

How could I have been so dumb
I can’t believe I was so naive

I tried to act like I knew
I pretended I understood

You never cared from the start
But you never really cared about me

I gave you problems 'cause I
I caused you trouble because

Knew that you gave me your heart
I knew you loved me

If I told you I need you
By saying I need you

I'm saying that I need you now
I’m telling you I need you now

Saying I need you now
Stating I desperately want you in my life
