Billie Eilish started releasing music when she was 14 years old. Her debut album came out last year, when she was 17. It debuted at Number 1 on Billboard, went triple platinum, and won five Grammys. Billie made that record with her brother and creative partner, producer Finneas O鈥機onnell, in their parents鈥 house in Highland Park, Los Angeles. While working on that album, they also started writing this song, 鈥淓verything I Wanted,鈥 which came out as a single in November 2019. It was Billie鈥檚 second top ten hit, and it went double platinum, too. In this episode, you鈥檒l hear some of the original voice memos Billie and Finneas made while writing, and the two of them explain why the song was almost never finished.
