Billie Eilish’s upcoming third studio album has been generating a lot of buzz, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Eilish has been teasing some of the lyrics and concepts from the album in recent interviews, and one song in particular has caught the attention of many.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish revealed that her upcoming song, “Lunch,” was inspired by her realization and embrace of her queer identity. “I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after,” Eilish said. “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.”
The lyrics of “Lunch,” which Eilish previewed during her performance at Coachella this month, contain some queer, sexual undertones. The song’s chorus includes the lyrics, “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.”
Eilish’s openness about her queer identity is refreshing and empowering, and “Lunch” is sure to be a hit with fans who relate to her experiences. The album is set to be released on May 17th via Interscope and Dark Room, and it is sure to be one of the most talked-about albums of the year.
