At just 23, Eilish has already accumulated 44 Hot 100 hits, nine Grammys and a pair of Oscars. Her most recent record, Hit Me Hard and Soft, was the fifth-most popular release in the U.S. last year, earning over 2.2 billion streams, per the data company Luminate. She followed the album with a tour that has sold more than 383,000 tickets and grossed more than $55 million in the past nine months, according to Pollstar.

Eilish has racked up these triumphs despite the fact that she is allergic to writing carefree pop hits, and many in the music industry did not believe her downbeat approach would be palatable to a wide audience. “It’s so funny to think back on all of the criticisms that were like, ‘The songs are too sad,’ ” she says. “So many people and companies wanted us to make happier songs.” Even when writing “Birds of a Feather,” she made sure to add “something dark” so the song wasn’t just “rainbows and smiles,” she says. “We wrote about the idea that you’re going to die soon, and let’s make it last.”

I've heard it a handful of times, but as soon as BOAF ends, I immediately forget what it sounds like.

Boring, shapeless, overrated song.
