Billie Eilish Self-Directs New Music Video for ‘Xanny’
Billie Eilish’s new music video for “Xanny” is finally here, and the 17-year-old pop star directed it herself.
In the music video, Eilish sports a tame brown hair color and all-cream outfit as she sings in a blank room. It starts out so black that it’s almost soothing, like a stark hospital sheet or a freshly mopped floor.
Then, the weird comes in. She winces as a hand reaches out to burn a cigarette onto her face. More hands enter the shot, forcing her into becoming essentially a human ash tray.
It ends with the star’s face covered in burn marks as she walks out of the room. A cloud of smoke follows behind her.
The song explores teen drug use, urging others to not use Xanax and alcohol to suppress their problems. The drug-sober singer said in an interview with The Guardian that she’s seen these addictions affect people close to her.
“I don’t want my friends to die anymore,” Eilish said.
