The singer opened up to 'Rolling Stone' about how the new song was inspired by her queer identity after she'd 'been in love with girls for my whole life.'

Singer/songwriter Billie Eilish is embracing her queer identity after vaguely coming out last year.

Her recent statement about being sexually attracted to women was made unequivocally clear when describing the inspiration behind her new song, "Lunch", from her upcoming third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.


The 22-year-old nine-time Grammy winner told Rolling Stone magazine on Wednesday:

“I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after."

The proud owner of a Flavor Flav clock necklace then said without any hint of irony:

“I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand—until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”

Fans got to hear "Lunch" and other tracks from the singer's upcoming album at a Do Labs Coachella party earlier this month.

A suggestive line from the lyrics heard in "Lunch" describes an intimate sapphic desire.

She sings:

“I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough / I could buy you so much stuff / It’s a craving, not a crush."

Some fans were blushing.


Others found her relatable.


Social media users loved her even more for her candid self-assessment.




Last December, Eilish said in Variety's "Power of Women" cover story:

“I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well."

She continued:

“I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real.”

When asked to elaborate on her admiration for women at Variety's hitmakers event, Eilish admitted:

"I'm still scared of them but I think they're pretty."

She told her interviewer she wasn't planning on outing herself with the cover story but added:

“But I kind of thought, ‘Wasn’t it obvious?’"
"I didn’t realize people didn’t know.”

Hit Me Hard And Soft is scheduled for a May 17 release via Interscope and Dark Room.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
