Billie Eilish put out "Everything I Wanted" in November 2019 as a stand-alone single through Darkroom and Interscope, written with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced it and sings backup. It's a hushed, woozy thing: a few piano chords, a slow-rolling bass and a faint house pulse under her whisper of a voice. The song grew out of a nightmare, and what it's really about is the sibling bond at its center, O'Connell standing guard between her and harm.
Eilish directed the video herself, the two of them holding hands as they drive a Dodge Challenger through the city and into the sea. It won Record of the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards.
