In early June, Billie Eilish released a new song. This track, “TV”, apparently referred to The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard libel suit that had just ended at the time in court with the jury verdict. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court was in the midst of a historic decision on the future of the precedent set by Roe v. Wade about abortion, but it was Depp and Heard who dominated the news cycle at the time. From what Billie Eilish is saying now, she frankly she wasn’t happy with it.
Of course, Eilish doesn’t specifically mention Amber Heard or Johnny Depp on “TV”. Instead, her lyrics strongly imply that she is in the libel suit, as she sings in the unreleased song, “The Internet Has Gone Crazy Watching Movie Stars on Trial / Knocking on Roe v. Wading.” Now the singer is talking about the viral lyrics and the intense feelings she went through when she put pen to paper and came up with the new song, as she said. NME in a new cover:
I was in this state of depression, I was losing my rights to my own body, and then I was going online and people were expressing their opinion on this cause. Who cares ? Women are losing their rights to their bodies, so why are we talking about celebrity divorce lawsuits? Who cares ? Let them find out for themselves. Internet irritates me sometimes …
Indeed, this isn’t the first time Billie Eilish has talked about her internet-related feelings, although it’s the first time she’s raised two big movie stars to prove her point. In reality, Eilish was very candid about the disconnection she hears on the internet. , especially when fan hatred is involved. He said during the pandemic:
I wish I could tell fans everything I think and feel and I won’t live on the internet forever. And let it talk about it and call it problematic, or whatever you want to call it, any thoughts a human being has. The other sad thing is they don’t really know me. And I don’t really know them, but of course we’re connected. The problem is, you feel like you know someone, but you don’t. And then it’s like, yes. It’s a lot.
Eilish also made it clear that she is not as outspoken on social media as she seems. As for “TV”, Billie Eilish said in the interview that she wanted to remember a time when she could just “play a little guitar song again and feel like before”. You can watch the full performance below.
The massive backlash to Heard and Depp’s lawsuit is still ongoing, but in recent days, after the Supreme Court decided to overturn the right to abortion in the United States, it sparked “TV.” It is unclear if the unreleased song will make it to her third album, as the singer says she is trying not to “go crazy” about herself by deeming more music too difficult at the moment. Eilish is currently on her “Happier Than Ever” tour.
