Say It Spit It Out What Is It Exactly

Billie Eilish made a promise in 2020 that not a single one of her fans forgot: The moment she hopped into a salon to change her iconic green and black dye job was the moment we could expect new Billie music. And thus, the metamorphosis began—Billie finally removed her former hair color in favor of a sunshine-infused platinum blonde, and now we're being gifted with new Billie music. Yay!

Billie's newest offering, "Happier Than Ever," is honestly a breath of fresh air. As the title suggests, the lyrics describe Billie being thrilled that a certain ~someone~ is out of her life. The singer briefly discussed the song in her documentary The World's a Little Blurry and said, "The whole song is just more like nothing even specific that they did, you're just not happy being with them. Can't even explain it." So glad she got that toxic energy out of her life, TBH.

Some fans are theorizing the song could potentially be about Billie's ex Q Adams. Billie and Q broke up April 2019, and she explained, "I just wasn't happy, and I didn't want the same things he wanted, and I don't think that's fair for him. I don't think you should be in a relationship super excited about certain things that the other person couldn't care less about. I don't think that's fair to you. I didn't think that was fair to him. And there was just a lack of effort, I think. I literally was just like, 'Dude, you don't even have enough love to love yourself. You can't love me, dude. And you don't. You think you do.'"

Now that you've got supplemental info, check out "Happier Than Ever"—and learn the lyrics, of course—below:

[Chorus]
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true, mmm

[Verse 1]
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do, mm-mm
Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
When you said you were passin' through
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (what you said you'd do)
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly werеn't aware that you made me miserable, ooh
So if you really wanna know

[Chorus]
When I'm away from you (when I'm away from you)
I'm happier than ever (I'm happier than ever)
Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn't true, mmm

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Drivin' home under the influence
You scared me to death but I'm wastin' my breath
'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city

[Verse 3]
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fuckin' sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
Shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

[Outro]
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fuckin' leave me alone
