The Breakdown: Billie Eilish and Finneas on Bad Guy


It took Billie Eilish 34 Duhs to craft her hit song, Bad Guy or at least that many takes of the word. And all that repetition paid off: Eilish recently garnered six Grammy nominations, including Bad Guy for Record and Song of the Year and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?for Album of the Year.

Eilish and her producer-brother, Finneas, shared the process they went through to craft Bad Guy at Finneas California home and how they ultimately achieved stupiosity.

They explained their studio setups in their parents houses and how they incorporated patterns to craft the layered, distinctive effects. One of the reason why we left the humming in the beginning is the way the bass sounds, you could think its in a different key. Finneas would often take it out, but Id go, No, no, no,' Eilish says.

They also reveal the reasoning behind the very quirky Invisalign intro and explain how Plants Vs. Zombies and Wizards of Waverly Place both figure into the track.

Finneas takes gentle jabs at Billies perfectionism when it came to enunciating the lyrics, such as white shirt, and how she needed it to be right even when it came to the breaths being exactly the same.

Im actually so shocked and happy that people like it the way that it is, Billie admits. The thing we were most worried about was the chorus, and having it have no hook.
