Instagram post, Eilish called it her “favorite song and video ever.”
During an interview with
Vevo, Eilish said she intends for the record to be “timeless.”
“I wanted to make a very timeless record that wasn’t just timeless in terms of what other people thought but really just timeless for myself,” the artist says. ”I gathered a lot of inspiration from older artists I grew up loving, mostly
Julie London and a lot of Peggy Lee. It’s a big goal of [mine] to make things feel like the same project but not like the same song over and over again. The main thing I would hope for is people to hear what I say and go, ‘Oh, God, I feel like that. I didn’t know I felt like that, but this is how I feel.’ And maybe make a change in their life that makes them happier.”
The video, which the artist has been teasing for weeks via
Instagram, features cars burning around her as she walks down a dark street.

The song begins with a scratching, distorted effect and launches into a creepy, minimalist beat, with Eilish singing “Did you think I’d show up in a limousine?” Throughout the video, images of silhouettes and approaching cars flash by as the singer makes her way down a dimly lit street. When the chorus picks up, the cars begin zipping around her, filling the scene with headlights and tire smoke. In this video, there are, in fact, 25 stunt drivers. Not only did Eilish direct the video herself, but she also recorded the entire performance in a single take.
