These 20 Billie Eilish Lyrics About Love And Sex Are Everything I Wanted

When you think about Billie Eilish, “romantic” probs isn’t the first word that comes to mind. The singer’s moody, macabre anti-pop ballads likely won’t be chosen for anyone’s first wedding dance song, but if you listen carefully, you’ll find that Billie Eilish’s lyrics about love and sex cut deeper than you may have realized. Both her debut record, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, and her second studio album, Happier Than Ever, offer plenty of musings on love, sex, and heartbreak, and though it’s unclear whether Eilish is currently dating actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, the lyrics from the second album make it clear she’s def over her ex-boyfriend, Q.

Eilish and Q (whose real name is Brandon Quention Adams and stage name is 7:AMP) reportedly dated from the end of 2018 to the middle of 2019, and it seems their breakup inspired some of Eilish’s most powerful tracks. And while her lyrics may not be particularly sentimental (I mean, she literally sings, “I'm not sentimental,” in “Billie Bossa Nova”), there’s no denying that her lyrics about love and sex are hot AF. Here are just some of Eilish’s most fiery song lyrics of all time, many of which seemingly allude to her ex.
