Billie Eilish has directed a handful of her own music videos of them, and they're all chilling masterpieces, but nothing's quite like the visuals for the title track off her sophomore album Happier Than Ever. A week after proclaiming "THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG AND FAVORITE VIDEO EVER" on Instagram, the young star doubled down and called making the video "an incredible peak life experience" while sharing behind the scenes photos from the shoot.
It's no wonder Eilish decided to name the whole album after "Happier Than Ever." The song sees the 19-year-old at her most vulnerable as she sings lines like "And I don't talk s**t about you on the internet/ Never told anyone anything bad/ 'Cause that s**t's embarrassing, you were my everything/ And all that you did was make me f**kin' sad," and the clip manifests those emotions into a raging storm.

Fans across the country can tune in and watch an exclusive live stream of the show via The CW App and CWTV.com.
