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 ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?," was released on 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 James Bond's 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's film.
On July 31, 2021, Billie Eilish has released her Sophomore Album "Happier Than Ever," which broke the internet two days after its release. Eilish performed the album at the Life Is Beautiful festival, her first performance since the pandemic.
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, making her one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.

Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
'Cause ever since I left the city
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
The lyrics to Billie Eilish's song "Hotline" depict a narrative of a troubled relationship. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a time when their partner used to reach out to them on their cell phone late at night when they needed love and support. The repetition of the phrase "Late night when you need my love" emphasizes the vulnerability and reliance between the two individuals.
The chorus of the song, "I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing," suggests that the singer has become accustomed to this pattern. They have associated the sound of the phone ringing with their partner's need for love, indicating a codependent dynamic in the relationship.
The second verse reveals that the singer has left the city, resulting in their partner gaining a reputation and becoming more independent. The singer feels left out and expresses their distress and jealousy through the line, "Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out." The following lines depict how the partner's behavior has changed since the singer's departure, with references to dressing provocatively, going out more, and socializing with unfamiliar people ("Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor, Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before"). This highlights the singer's feelings of insecurity and the emotional toll that the breakup has had on them.
Overall, "Hotline" explores the aftermath of a breakup, the different ways individuals cope with heartbreak, and the lingering attachments that can make it difficult to move on.

You used to reach out to me when you needed emotional support
Late night when you need my love
During the late hours when you crave for my affection
Call me on my cell phone
Contact me through the means of modern communication

'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Because since I departed from your immediate surroundings
Got a reputation for yourself now

Girl, you have made me feel low and anxious

Started wearing less and goin' out more
You began wearing revealing clothing and spending more time socializing
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Drinking champagne on the dance floor

Spending time with unfamiliar girls
'Cause ever since I left the city
Because since I departed from your immediate surroundings

[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling

I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 1]
'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
‘Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I’ve never seen before
'Cause ever since I left the city
