Billie Eilish Drives Straight Into The Ocean In Her 'Everything I Wanted' Video

Billie Eilish surprised fans today (January 23) once she reported that the music video for "Everything I Wanted" could be out in a hour. Well, a hour has come and gone, folks, and the "Bad Guy" singer's new video, which she directed herself, is a spine-chilling and anxiety-inducing journey.


The video, which stars Eilish's brother and longtime collaborator Finneas, starts with a crucial message. "Finneas is my brother and my best friend," the 18-year-old pop star wrote. "No matter the circumstance, we routinely have and habitually will be there for each other." The last of the video confirms this to be true.


Following her sweet message to Finneas, Eilish cruises past a cute cityscape with her brother in the passenger seat. In true Eilish style, their stares are blank, their bodies expressionless. As soon as the siblings drive through a tunnel, they find themselves out city, by way of the desert, past the valley, and onto the beach.


Much less than halfway by way of the nearly five-minute-long video, we identify that it's not at all about the scenery; it's about sticking by each other's side even at hit rock bottom. In this particular case, Eilish drives the vehicle directly into the ocean. And though it's challenging to watch them getting swept away by the tide and slowly sinking under, the siblings confirm with their hands contained tight that everything will be OK because, at the very least, they have each other.


Eilish's directing skills shine through on this project, and several fans on social media feel that it properly encapsulates the feeling of wanting to give up on everything nevertheless realizing that there really are people who care, even as soon as it doesn't feel like it. This isn't the "Ocean Eyes" singer's first foray into directing, either. Eilish made her directorial debut with her song "Xanny" last month, which was just as soul-stirring and evocative.
