We all know that Billie Eilish’s music truly
is the gift that keeps on giving, but what
if we told you that one of her songs actually
WAS supposed to be a gift, and was never meant
to be released in the first place?
Pretty intriguing, right?
What’s up guys?
Happy Monday, it’s Sussan Mourad back here
with Clevver News, and Billie just dropped
a major truth bomb about one of her songs,
which makes it that much more special…
Let’s face it -- pretty much every piece
of artistry that Billie Eilish and Finneas
touch turns to pure platinum Grammy-winning
gold, and we’re just stating the facts.
Since she broke onto the scene, Billie has
made headlines for her raw talent, ability
to just be her own unique self, and for always
keeping it real with her fans.
Although she doesn’t usually spill a whole
lot of her personal life with the public,
Billie gifted fans with a little insider secret
about one of her biggest hits during her recent
at-home performance for Verizon’s Pay It
Forward series.
We’re gonna break down all the details,
but before we do, I just wanted to remind
you guys to be sure you subscribe to our channel
if you haven’t already, and ring that bell
so you never miss a breaking news update.
Alright, so artist’s release songs for a
slew of different reasons -- whether they’re
going through a breakup, a big life change,
or they’re just happy, there’s really
a song for everything.
That said, fans were able to learn a lot more
about the dynamic duo during Billie and Finneas’
live-stream last week, when they revealed
some behind-the-scenes secrets about their
hit song “Ocean Eyes.”
Billie revealed that she and Finneas pretty
much grew up dancing at a studio called Revolution
Dance Center in California, when their dance
instructor, Fred, asked them to create a song
they can dance to, which is how “Ocean Eyes”
was born.
She went on to say that the song, which was
recorded when she was just 13 years old, was
originally only released on Soundcloud as
a means of sharing the finished version with
Fred, but from there it blew up.
Billie and Finneas also shared the importance
of growing up at Revolution and the effect
it had on them even now.
She added, “That dance studio really kind
of deserves all the credit for the beginning
of this career journey, so we love them a
lot.
They're amazing.
They changed both of our lives.”
Billie and Finneas even took a few minutes
to call the studio and catch up to ask them
how they’ve been holding up after everything
that’s been going on.
Unfortunately due to the pandemic, Billie
and Finneas revealed that the studio has been
struggling to make ends meet, and has lost
about 250 kids since April 1st, but have been
able to pay their staff first and foremost.
This is likely one of the main reasons why
Billie and Finneas have taken part in the
Play It Forward movement, which supports small
businesses that were affected by the pandemic.
But really quick, I wanna hear all your thoughts
on Billie and Finneas’ story about “Ocean
Eyes?”
Do you love hearing about songs that have
much deeper meanings for artists?
And what are some other ways you’ve seen
artists give back to help with pandemic relief?
Be sure to chime in down below in the comments,
but speaking of giving back, Billie, along
with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd
and even more Universal Music Group artists,
have dropped a line of reusable cloth face
masks as part of the company’s “We’ve
Got You Covered” campaign.
The masks go for $15 each and all net proceeds
will benefit MusiCares, which helps to support
the music community, also affected by the
pandemic.
Each artist’s mask contains a different
symbol that reflects them or their work, like
for example, Ariana Grande’s has a single
teardrop, which is a reflection of her “No
Tears Left To Cry” merch.
It’s always refreshing to see artists doing
everything they can to support those in need,
and if at all possible, we love Billie and
Finneas that much more for being so generous
and doing their part in giving back.
