Billie Eilish premiered the music video for her new single Lunch just hours after her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft was released on Friday.
The Grammy winner, 22, channels the ’90s while sporting a variety of oversized sports T-shirts, shorts and backwards baseball caps as she talks about her desire for women.
“I could eat that girl for lunch, she dances on my tongue,” the pop star sings alone in front of a white background. “Looks like she could be the one / And she could never have enough / She could buy him so many things / She’s a craving, not a crush.”
As the song becomes more intense, Eilish’s background changes from plain white to bright primary colors, with multiple versions of her dancing alongside her on screen.
The fun film comes as fans have called Lunch a “lesbian anthem” and a huge “victory for gays.”
Billie Eilish premiered the music video for her new single Lunch just hours after her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, dropped on Friday.
The Grammy winner, 22, channels the ’90s while sporting a variety of oversized sports T-shirts, shorts and backwards baseball caps as she talks about her desire for women.
After the release of Hit Me Hard and Soft, people took to social media to discuss the 10 new songs, and Lunch gained attention thanks to her bold lyrics describing Billie wanting to be intimate with another girl.
The hitmaker previously said the song was “part of what helped her” realize that she’s “been in love with girls her whole life.”
“She dances on my tongue / She tastes like she’s the one / And I could never have enough / I could buy her so many things / It’s a craving, not a crush,” he sings.
Elsewhere, he continues: “Now she’s walking up the stairs / So I pull up a chair / and comb my hair.”
People quickly rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the sultry song.
“Oh lunch is the best and gayest thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” one person wrote. ‘Oh, the gays have won.’
“Billie Eilish’s lunch did more for the gay community than any company’s activism during Pride month,” another joked.
Someone else announced: “Billie’s Lunch is the new gay anthem.”
“I could eat that girl for lunch, she dances on my tongue,” sings the pop star standing alone in front of a white background.
Billie takes a bite of an apple while sitting on a couch.
“It tastes like she could be the one/And I could never have enough/I could buy her so many things/It’s a craving, not a crush,” he sings.
“Lunch made me gay again, thanks Billie,” read a third tweet, while a fourth read, “Didn’t expect Billie Eilish to drop the queer girl anthem of the summer.”
“It’s a great day to be a lesbian,” another user added. Another chimed in: “Billie is in her lesbian era.”
Billie spoke for the first time about her sexuality with Variety last year, revealing at the time that she was “physically attracted” to women.
Afterward, he said he thought “it was obvious” as he reflected on the world’s reaction to his admission.
At the time, she said she wasn’t really a fan of the concept of coming out, explaining, “I just think, why can’t we just exist?”
‘I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it… wow! I saw all the articles and thought, ‘Oh, I guess I came out today… Okay, cool.’
“But it’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know.” It makes me nervous to talk about it… but I’m for the girls.’
While chatting with Rolling Stone about last month’s lunch, What was I made for? The singer said writing the song was instrumental in helping her discover “who she is.”

After the release of Hit Me Hard and Soft, people took to social media to discuss the 10 new songs, and Lunch gained attention thanks to her bold lyrics describing Billie wanting to be intimate with another girl.
“That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real,” he said.
‘I wrote part of it before I even did anything with a girl, and then I wrote the rest.
“I’ve been in love with girls my whole life, but I didn’t understand it, until last year, (when) I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
Billie was extremely honest on her new album and also opened up about the continued scrutiny she has faced for her appearance on her song Skinny.
In the song, she sings about people commenting on her weight, something she has openly struggled with in the past.
The lyrics say: “People say I look happy / Just because I got skinny / But the old me is still me and maybe the real me / And I think she’s pretty.”
In a later verse, he adds: “And the Internet is hungry for the cruelest kind of humor / And someone has to feed it.”
In 2019, the hitmaker opened up about why she often wears baggy clothes, explaining that she liked baggy clothes because she didn’t want people to see her body.
Billie first opened up about her sexuality with Variety last year, revealing at the time that she was “physically attracted” to “girls.” She is seen in January.
While chatting with Rolling Stone about Lunch last month, she said the song was “part of what helped her” realize that she’s “been in love with girls her whole life.”
People quickly took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the sultry song.
‘I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can give an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know? she stated.
“No one can say, ‘Oh, she’s skinny and thick, she’s not skinny and thick, she’s got a flat butt, she’s got a fat butt.'” Nobody can say anything like that because they don’t know.’
She also told Variety about her early years in the spotlight: “I didn’t want people to have access to my body, not even visually.” He wasn’t strong enough or confident enough to show it.
“If I had shown it at the time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything.”
