Billie Eilish surprised fans yesterday (Jan 23) when she posted that the premier of her new video was about the happen. Not long afterwards, she tweeted a link to “Everything I Wanted.”

Directed by Eilish, it stars her brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas Eilish, and begins with these written words on the screen: “Finneas is my brother and my best friend. No matter the circumstance, we always have and always will be there for each other.”

MTV described it as “a spine-chilling and anxiety-inducing journey.”

SIDE NOTES

  • Video description: Eilish cruises past a beautiful cityscape with her brother in the passenger seat. In true Eilish fashion, their stares are blank, their bodies expressionless. When the siblings drive through a tunnel, they find themselves out of the city, through the desert, past the valley, and onto the beach.
  • Less than halfway through the nearly five-minute-long video, we realize that it’s not at all about the scenery; it’s about sticking by each other’s side even at hit rock bottom. In this particular case, Eilish drives the car directly into the ocean. And though it’s difficult to watch them getting swept away by the tide and slowly sinking under, the siblings confirm with their hands held tight that everything will be OK because, at the very least, they have each other.
