In a normal scene like what we’re doing, we’re trying to make sure, ‘How do I make sure my performance is real? Have I done my research? How do I make sure the accent’s perfect?’ In this one you’re going, ‘Okay, if a bunch of guys with guns come from that side of the stage, have I got a way to get out? What happens if someone shoots me? What if a bunch of people start shooting me?'”

According to Variety, the ‘Bad Guy’ singer said that this new album is the result of her first prolonged period of not touring since her career began in 2016. Eilish said, “I don’t think I would’ve made the same album, or even the album at all, if it weren’t for Covid.”
