Billie Eilish recently shared in an unpublished excerpt from her Rolling Stone cover that despite her split with ex-boyfriend Jesse Rutherford, the two are still on good terms. The singer described Rutherford as one of her favorite people in the world, showcasing that there are no hard feelings between the former couple even after less than nine months of dating.
Fans have been eager to speculate on which songs in Eilish’s new album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” were inspired by Rutherford. However, the artist made it clear that the album draws from various people and experiences. Eilish emphasized that as a songwriter, her job is to write about what she feels, and she urged fans to avoid diving into the toxic game of trying to decipher specific inspirations behind each song.
In her interview, Eilish revealed that the process of creating her latest album played a significant role in her journey of self-discovery, especially in terms of her sexuality. The song “Lunch,” which explores having a crush on a girl, helped Eilish embrace her most authentic self. She expressed that this particular track was instrumental in helping her understand and accept her feelings towards women.
Despite jokes about never dating again, Eilish clarified that she plans to remain single for the time being until she finds a connection that truly resonates with her. The artist emphasized the importance of waiting for the right person rather than rushing into serious relationships. She revealed that at this moment, her focus is more on her music and personal growth than on romantic pursuits.
Eilish’s openness about her queer identity and her journey towards self-acceptance has resonated with many fans. The artist admitted that she had been in love with girls for her entire life but only fully understood her feelings recently. By sharing her experiences and emotions through her music, Eilish has become a beacon of authenticity and self-discovery for her listeners.
