Billie Eilish reveals the music video for the song "Male Fantasy" from her album "Happier Than Ever", which she directed, continuing to explore different aspects of her artistic expression.
"Happier Than Ever" closes with this melancholy ballad where Billie Eilish contemplates a recent love affair. The song begins with a reference to "male fantasy" to emphasize the difference between true and false love.
In the music video for "Male Fantasy", Billie Eilish spends her daily life at home with an air of melancholy.
In the alternation of shots, he sits on the ground or looks in the background under low light with blue filters, moves from room to room, opens and closes in the fridge, changes sides in bed.
The music video follows the evolution of the song melody, as Billie Eilish fills the void of an entire day at home.
Billie Eilish looks in the mirror as she sings the lyrics: "We were inseparable years ago / I thought we would do well, but it was not so / And it's all I think about when I'm behind the wheel / I'm worried I'll always feel that way / "But nothing lasts, I know the situation."
"Male Fantasy" is based on the acceptance of the unrealistic standards created by the porn industry and the discomfort that prevails, despite their prevalence.
"It was difficult to write because we wanted it to be as revealing as possible. It's hard to be sensitive and honest and open about my life right now. "I find it much easier to write about my past and what I once felt and to find a new look at something that happened to me," Billie Eilish told i-D about the song earlier this year.
"I usually do not write about what I'm going through right now, because it 's hard to process. So I wanted to say how I felt. "It was difficult, satisfying, revealing and also incredibly laxative."
