Billie Eilish finds it “hard to take in” when she is told her music has made a difference in someone’s life.
During a recent appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Songwriters Roundtable alongside Dua Lipa, Cynthia Erivo, Olivia Rodrigo, Jon Batiste and Julia Michaels, the music star opened up about receiving praise for her songs.
“It’s hard to believe,” the Happier Than Ever singer-songwriter said of her reaction to hearing that her music has helped someone through a hard time. “I find myself like…”
“It’s overwhelming,” Julia interrupted.
“Yeah, I don’t really know how to like believe it, because I know what it’s like to be in that position and it’s so real, and to know that you’re helping somebody who’s in that is really hard to believe and astounding and special and almost you feel like undeserving,” the 22-year-old hitmaker explained. “Like I didn’t deserve to help you through that.”
“But it’s so special and powerful,” Billie continued. “I feel that way a lot and people say some stuff and I’m like (pulls shocked face), you know?”
The Bad Guy singer is currently nominated for a Golden Globe and five Grammys for What Was I Made For?, taken from the Barbie soundtrack.
