Billie Eilish released her latest song, “Your Power,” on Thursday, calling it one of her favorite songs that she has written and a “vulnerable” release for the 19-year-old artist. The song is the third single from her second studio album, Happier Than Ever, following “My Future” and “Therefore I Am.” Like her first album, the incredibly successful When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, her new album was produced by her brother, Finneas O’Connell.
“‘Your Power’ song and video out now. this is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” Eilish wrote on Instagram, alongside a preview of the video. “I feel very vulnerable putting this one out because I hold it so close to my heart. this is about many different situations that we’ve all either witnessed or experienced. I hope this can inspire change. try not to abuse your power.” In the video, Eilish sings the song in the wilderness, while a snake coils around her.
