Must read

Billie Eilish debuted the music video for her new single Lunch just hours after her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft dropped on Friday.

The 22-year-old Grammy winner channels the 90s as she rocks a variety of oversized sports jerseys, shorts and backwards baseball caps while waxing on about her desire for women.

‘I could eat that girl for lunch, she dances on my tongue,’ the pop star sings while standing solo in front of a white background. ‘Tastes like she might be the one/ And I could never get enough/ I could buy her so much stuff/ It’s a craving, not a crush.’

As the song grows more intense, Eilish’s backdrop shifts from plain white to bright primary colors, with multiple versions of herself dancing alongside her onscreen.

The fun film comes as fans have branded Lunch as a ‘lesbian anthem’ and a huge ‘win for the gays.’

After Hit Me Hard and Soft dropped, people rushed to social media to discuss the 10 new tracks, with Lunch catching attention thanks to its risqué lyrics that describe Billie wanting to get 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 / Tastes like she might be the one / And I could never get enough / I could buy her so much stuff / It’s a craving, not a crush,’ she sings. 

In another part, she continues, ‘Now she’s coming up the stairs / So I’m pullin’ up a chair / and I’m putting up my hair.’ 

People quickly rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the sultry song.

‘Oh Lunch is the gayest and best thing I’ve ever heard,’ one person wrote. ‘Oh the gays have won.’

‘Lunch by Billie Eilish did more for the gay community than any company’s activism during Pride month,’ joked another.

Someone else announced, ‘Lunch by Billie is the new gay anthem.’

‘Lunch made me gay all over again, thank you Billie,’ read a third tweet, while a fourth said, ‘I did not expect the Billie Eilish to drop the queer girl anthem of the summer.’

‘It’s a great day to be a lesbian,’ a different user added. Another chimed in, ‘Billie is in her lesbian era.’

Billie first discussed her sexuality with Variety last year, revealing at the time that she was ‘attracted physically’ to women.

Afterwards, she said she thought it ‘was obvious’ while reflecting on the world’s reaction to her admission.

At the time, she said she wasn’t really a fan of the concept of coming out, explaining, ‘I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? 

‘I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it… whoops. I saw all the articles [and] was like, ‘Oh, I guess I came out today… OK, cool.’

‘But it’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know. I’m nervous talking about it… but I am for the girls.’

While chatting with Rolling Stone about Lunch last month, the What Was I Made For? songstress said writing the track was monumental in helping her discover ‘who she is.’

‘That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real,’ she said.

‘I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after.

‘I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand – until last year, [when] I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.’

Billie was extremely honest on her new album, also opening about the ongoing scrutiny that she has faced over her appearance in her song Skinny.

In the track, she sings about people commenting on her weight – something she has been open about struggling with in the past.

The lyrics read, ‘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, she adds: ‘And the internet is hungry for the meanest kind of funny / And somebody’s gotta feed it.’

Back in 2019, the hitmaker spoke out about why she often wears loose-fitting clothes, explaining that she liked baggy items because she didn’t want people to see her body.

‘I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know?’ she stated.

‘Nobody can be like, ‘Oh she’s slim-thick, she’s not slim-thick, she got a flat a**, she got a fat a**.’ Nobody can say any of that because they don’t know.’

She also told Variety of her early years in the spotlight, ‘I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it.

‘If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything.’
