“Honestly, we were in a period of time where we were both... like through this last winter, we've both been incredibly uninspired,” Billie Eilish told Zane Lowe for Apple Music about the song. “And we've still been working and trying to make stuff. And honestly, that song was the first thing we'd written in a minute. Even though we were coming up with ideas and coming up with this and that, I remember after we wrote that first half, I go, 'I think we still got it.'”
She continued, “We were really in a zone of feeling like we lost it and feeling like, man, I don't know if we can do this anymore. Barbie and Greta just pulled it out of me, I don't know. Those first couple lyrics, 'I used to float, now I just fall down,' just came right out.”-
She added, “I did not think about myself once in the writing process. I was purely inspired by this movie and this character and the way I thought she would feel, and wrote about that. And then, over the next couple days, I was listening and I was like, girl, how did this... honestly, and I really don't mean this to come off a conceited way at all, but I do this thing where I make stuff that I don't even know is... like I'm writing for myself and I don't even know it.”
She is currently working on her third studio album. She told Jimmy Fallon in an interview, “We are almost done with this new album we're working on. So, at some point, you will know more, but I'm not going to say anymore.” - source : NBC
