The young songwriter has gained a following of millions —millions who look to her music in search of catharsis, and lyrics that explore various facets of human existence. Eilish, who has worked with artists Khalid and Vince Staples, explores themes that resonate with audiences around the world: pain, and love. She has been heralded for her haunting vocals, her dark aesthetic and her storytelling ability. Back in 2017, she told the BBC, "Lyrics are so important but they're really underrated. So many lyrics right now are just the same thing - "Oh, I love you but I'm sad because you don't love me and... blah". You can say that in a more interesting way."
