Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians and was homeschooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell. At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles. After the release of "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with Finneas and released by Interscope. It surpassed 14 million online streams and spawned a number of remixes with Astronomyy, Blackbear, and Goldhouse. Eilish followed up in February 2017 with "Bellyache," then landed another track, "Bored," on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. An EP, dont smile at me, featuring the singles "COPYCAT" and "watch," followed later that summer. Her debut full-length album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We All Go? stylized in all caps, was released March 29th, 2019 via Interscope Records.

On January 26, 2020, she won five Grammys, including the "big four" awards: Album of The Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. On February 18th 2020, she won a Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist and for the first time performed her new James Bond theme song "No Time to Die", joined by composer Hans Zimmer, guitar legend Johnny Marr and Finneas. The theme won Eilish and Finneas an Oscar for Best Original Song. Additionally, Eilish is the youngest musician to have ever performed the theme song for a Bond film.

On July 31, 2021, Billie Eilish has released her Sophomore Album "Happier Than Ever" that broke the internet two days the album was released. Eilish performed the album at the Life Is Beautiful festival performing for the first time since March 2020 when COVID happened. Eilish has planned a "Happier Than Ever World Tour" starting in February 2022 - July 2022.

In 2024, Eilish returned with her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft , released on May 17, 2024. The album featured hit songs like "Lunch", "Chihiro" and "Birds of a Feather". Prior to this, her introspective ballad "What Was I Made For?", a track written for the Barbie movie soundtrack, won two Grammys Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Song of the Year and her second Oscar for Best Original Song. This achievement solidified her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Eilish's ability to merge deeply personal lyrics with innovative production continues to push boundaries and making her one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.

Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay
Mm-mm, I

I didn't change my number
I only changed who I reply to
Laura said I should be nicer
But not to you
I love a, "You mad at me?" text
Should've guessed
That you would think I was upset
You're obsessed

Don't take it out on me
I'm out of sympathy for you
Maybe you should leave
Before I get too mean

I didn't change my number
I only changed who I believe in
You were easy on the eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
But looks can be deceivin'
I gotta work, I go to work
You don't deserve to feel so hurt
You got a lot of fuckin' nerve
I don't deserve, so

Don't take it out on me
I'm out of sympathy for you
Maybe you should leave
Before I get too mean
And take it out on you
And your best friend too
I should've left when Drew
Said you were bad news





Mm, mm
Mm
(Mm, mm)
(Mm)

Overall Meaning

In "I Didn't Change My Number," Billie Eilish is singing about a person she has cut out of her life. While she hasn't changed her phone number, she has changed who she replies to. Eilish's friend Laura suggested she be nicer, but not to this person. The song appears to be directed at someone who is trying to stay in Eilish's life despite her efforts to push them away. Eilish enjoys receiving texts asking if she is upset. She knows this person is obsessed with her and assumes they think she's mad.


Eilish has reached her limit with this person and is no longer sympathetic towards them. She advises them to leave before she becomes too mean, suggesting that they might be the reason she has to take out her anger on their friend. She believes that this person doesn't deserve to feel hurt, but they still have a lot of nerve for not leaving her alone. Eilish then suggests that she should have left when Drew warned her that this person was bad news.


Overall, "I Didn't Change My Number" is a strong song about boundaries and cutting out toxic people. It is a message of empowerment about standing up for oneself and making choices about who gets to be in our lives.
