Therefore I Am: Billie Eilish, 18, released her new song Therefore I Am on Thursday with a playful video to match. Billie runs around an empty shopping mall indulging in a number of delectable treats in video for new anthem
A fantasy most children – and adults alike – the indulgent video epitomizes whimsical gratification to match her new ‘DGAF’ anthem.
With lyrics like, ‘So go have fun, I really couldn’t care less, And you can give her my best,’ Eilish pens yet another breakup ballad with a lighter feel.
Dressed in an oversized graffiti painted sweater and matching colorful shorts, the Bad Guy singer showcases her signature two-tinted black and green locks and a pair of fresh white kicks.

The video, which is directed by Eilish, opens with her taking charge in the vacant mall, jutting up the escalators and running by closed stores before helping herself to one of many American delicacies.
Though a multi-faceted artist, the video seems to lend itself more to her playful side than her stylized emotional persona, with cinematography that reads like a documentary.

Others were quick to marvel at her unwavering coolness, while taking notice that the song takes jabs at her media portrayal.
More is more: She croons for the camera while double fisting a donut and pretzel, singing lyrics like ‘I’m sorry, I don’t think I caught your name’
Taking aim: Lyrics like, ‘Cause I hate to find articles, articles, articles, I’d rather you remain unremarkable,’ seem to take fire at body-shaming critics

Lyrics like, ‘Cause I hate to find articles, articles, articles, I’d rather you remain unremarkable,’ seem to take fire at body-shaming critics.
In one shot she seems to continue to stick it to everyone and the Los Angeles lifestyle, chowing down on her donut and pretzel in front of a sign that reads ‘only greens.’
Though ripe with deep emotional undertones like all of her songs, Billie’s lack of desire for public validation really comes through in the new single.

This is the most recent single for the multi-platinum hitmaker, since releasing My Future back in July.
Recently she scooped up three Billboard Music Awards in mid-October including Top Billboard 200 album after being nominated for 12 awards in total.
‘Thank you for believing in me and caring about me still. I don’t know why you do,’ she said, continuing, ‘I also want to say that I never, ever take these for granted…It is always a shock when I win anything at all.’
