Eilish lamented the loss of friends when she became famous and said she identifies with lines from Allen’s song
Billie Eilish confessed to Lily Allen who used to cry to the sound of “Smile”, the English singer’s first single. During participation in the podcast Allen It is Miquita Oliver, MissMe, Eilish revealed: “Well, I lost a lot of my friends when I became famous. Suddenly, I was famous and I didn’t identify with anyone. It was hard. It was very difficult.”
The singer, who released Hit Me Hard and Soft last month, she stated that her best friend, Zoeremained by his side, but his only other friends were his own employees.
“And then, it was my 20th birthday, and I remember looking around the room, and it was just people I employed — all at least 15 years older than me,” he continued. One of her employees, however, quit and stopped talking to her, which made her realize that “this was a job.”
Right away, Billie argued that it became difficult to make friends with his employees, due to his “abandonment issues”.

‘Smile’

Billie added: “I used to want to cry listening to those verses, because I didn’t feel that way, I didn’t have any friends. And I remember thinking that I wanted to feel that way. And I want to hear this song that I identify with in every way and hearing this verse about friends and being like, ‘My friends are with me.'”
