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 ↴
There's a whole crowd of people out there who need to learn how to do the Scarn
Don't ask questions you don't wanna know
Learned my lesson way too long ago
To be talkin' to you, belladonna
Shoulda taken a break, not an oxford comma
Take what I want when I wannaAnd I want ya
Bad, bad news
One of us is gonna lose
I'm the powder, you're the fuse
Just add some friction
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
I'm really, really sorry
I think I was just relieved to see that Michael Scott got his confidence back
Yeah, Michael, the movie's amazing
It's like, one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life
Deadly fever, please don't ever break
Be my reliever 'cause I don't self medicate
And it burns like a gin and I like it
Put your lips on my skin and you might ignite it
Hurts, but I know how to hide it, kinda like it
Bad, bad news
One of us is gonna lose
Just add some friction
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
Bite my glass, set myself on fire
Can't you tell I'm crass?
Can't you tell I'm wired?
Tell me nothin' lasts
Like I don't know
You could kiss my askin' about my motto
You should enter it in festivals
Or carnivals
Thoughts?
Pretty good reaction
Pretty cool, right?
You are my strange addiction
You are my strange addiction
My doctors can't explain
My symptoms or my pain
But you are my strange addiction
Did you like it? Did you like that?
Um, which part?
"My Strange Addiction" by Billie Eilish starts with a quote from Michael Scott, a character from the show "The Office". It sets the tone for a song thatโs not afraid to take on peculiar and relatable themes. Billie sings about her love thatโs not only strange but also a potential addiction. The lyrics hint at the addictive nature of love and its uncanny ability to evoke strange sensations and behaviors in people. She confesses that sheโs not in control of her obsession and itโs beyond her comprehension. The chorus is repetitive and simple, and it shows how overwhelming and obsessive love can be.
In the second verse, Billie switches to a darker tone and describes the intensity of the emotions sheโs experiencing. The lyrics hint at a risk of addiction to something thatโs almost poisonous. Sheโs willing to take it all in since she likes the way it makes her feel. The last verse includes a line about biting glass and setting herself on fire. These are not literal actions, but rather a metaphor for self-sabotage and the lengths that people may go to when they're in pain or longing for something. The song ends with a conversation thatโs heard in the background of the bridge, adding a touch of quirkiness to an already bizarre and unique song.
