“Wildflower” by Billie Eilish

"Wildflower" comes from HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, Billie Eilish's third album, out in 2024, and it's a folk-pop guilt trip: she props up a friend through a breakup, then ends up dating the friend's ex, and the song sits right inside the shame of it. She wrote it with her brother, Finneas O'Connell, who produced it and is all over the credits, on guitar, bass, synthesizer, glockenspiel, percussion and keys, with Eilish on keys too and both of them singing.

It became the album's fourth single, pushed to US pop radio by Darkroom and Interscope in March 2025, and climbed to number 17 on the Hot 100. At the 68th Grammy Awards it took Song of the Year, with a Record of the Year nod on top, giving the siblings more wins in that category than anyone before them.
