Billie Eilish Teaches First Grade Class How To Write A Hit Song—And We're Singing Along

The "What Was I Made For?" singer teamed up with Finneas and Julian Shapiro-Barnum for a special edition of Celebrity Substitute, where they helped first graders write a hit song about a sad polar bear who befriends a snowman.

Anyone who's ever followed celebrity news might have asked themselves at some point what it's really like to be a celebrity, and if celebrity life is easier or harder than the average, everyday life.

Julian Shapiro-Barnum has been actively asking this question on Celebrity Substitute, through which he questions if various celebrities can handle the pressure of one uniquely demanding and underpaid job: teaching.


While guest starring on Celebrity Substitute, Billie Eilish and Finneas visited a first-grade classroom and taught them how to write a hit song about a sad polar bear.

When they entered the classroom, one student had an iconic reaction:

"Am I dreaming right now?!"

Once the class settled down a bit, Eilish and Finneas worked through a series of notes and chords while the students decided on a key that they would like to put their song in.

After listening to some notes that "made [their brains go] skibidi," the class found a range of notes they liked.

Eilish then led them through discovering a character, which turned out to be a polar bear, and giving him a problem, which was that he was sad.

The rest of the song was the journey to solving his problem, which involved befriending a snowman and discovering happiness again.

The whole song is adorable, feel-good fun, and perfect for the holiday season.

Some Billie Eilish fans were impressed by what a bop the song was.










Creative writing exercises are more common in classrooms than they used to be, since they give a fun and unique way of teaching basic writing, storytelling, and analytical skills, and songwriting is an adjacent, poetic skill.

It's fun to know that while Eilish will never fail on stage, she could have a whole second career in the classroom, especially among younger kids who could have their minds blown just by her walking in the room.

Denver Airport Sparks Debate After Asking For Financial Support For Unpaid TSA Agents Amid Partial Shutdown

Denver International Airport (DEN) is asking travelers to donate grocery and gas gift cards to help Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who are working without pay during the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown that began in mid February.

The shutdown stems from the 2026 DHS budget appropriation still being unapproved by Congress and the expiration of their continuing resolution authority (CRA) which funded their operations until it lapsed. This weekend, TSA workers missed their first full paycheck.
