#BOSSA NOVA BILLIE EILISH MOVIE#
Billie leaves the rest of her girly image behind when she sings “Make a movie with you that we’d have to hide,” clearly making an allusion to a sex tape she wants to create with that mystery partner. The lyrics talk about some type of hot affair in which only superficial things like looks count for something. He states that they have to be experimental and do a lot of “goofy” things in order to get away from paparazzi when on the road so they decided to write this “glorified, romanticized” version of it where Billie is with a mysterious person instead. They forgot about it for more than a year and when they picked the song up again decided to just leave the title the way it had been all those months. The title stems from a beat Billie’s brother FINNEAS sent to her in 2019 which he called “Billie Bossa Nova” in lack of an original title since it sounded quite like a Bossa Nova song. It describes a fusion of jazz with a touch of classical music. Billie tells the guy to leave her alone before she snaps - and the barking dog from the start finally bites.īossa Nova is Portuguese and literally means “new talent / trend,” but it is also a style of Brazilian music that became popular in the 1950s/60s in Europe and the US. She also mentions how her best friend Drew warned her about him and in hindsight has to admit that she should’ve listened to her. In an interview with Open House Party, she revealed that the song used to be titled “Laura,” the name of her personal assistant, who she also mentions in the song: “Laura said I should be nicer / But not to you,” showing that not just Billie herself has a feeling of rejection towards the man she sings about. “I love this song so much,” Billie states on Spotify, “it’s all about: you can’t get me anymore.” She did not change her number in order to avoid her ex, but actively decided to ignore him instead. The second song on the album starts off with the aggressive barking and growling of a dog, followed by Billie saying “Okay,” playing with the proverb “barking dog never bites,” meaning one who regularly makes threatening statements rarely acts upon them. She has lost interest and passion in things she used to enjoy (“Things I once enjoyed / Just keep me employed now”), which is primarily due to what she has had to experience, but also has to do with getting older, hence the name of the song.ĭespite the heavy, sensitive topic, it is quite the easy going song that sounds so very like Billie Eilish, it could’ve also been on one of her older projects. Just being taken advantage of.” She sings about how her feelings have changed throughout the years, especially when it comes to making music. it’s really important that young women know it can happen to anyone. In the song, she talks about sexual harassment in the music industry and what it does to you, which she also already talked about in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: “I have experienced some stuff that I have never spoken about and I don’t want to at all. “I had to take a break in the middle of writing that one and I wanted to cry,” the 19-year-old admits. “For anybody asking, I promise I’ll be fine / I’ve had some trauma, did things I didn’t wanna / Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it’s time,” are the last lines of the song, but they could as well stand right at the beginning, since she does just that: open up.
