Billie Eilish debuted the music video for her new single Lunch just hours after her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft was released on Friday.
The 22-year-old Grammy winner channels the ’90s as she rocks a variety of oversized sports jerseys, shorts and backwards baseball caps as she continues her lust for women.
“I could eat that girl for lunch, she’s dancing on my tongue,” the pop star sings as she stands solo in front of a white background. “It tastes like she could be the one/And I could never get enough/I could buy her so many things/It’s a desire, not a crush.”
As the song intensifies, Eilish’s background changes from plain white to bright primary colors, with multiple versions of herself dancing on screen next to her.
The fun film comes as fans have labeled Lunch a “lesbian anthem” and a huge “victory for the gays.”

After Hit Me Hard and Soft was released, people rushed to social media to discuss the 10 new songs, with Lunch turning heads thanks to its risqué lyrics describing Billie wanting to get intimate with another girl.
The hitmaker previously said the song was “part of what helped her” realize she’s “been in love with girls her whole life.”
“She dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough / I could buy her so many things / It’s a longing, not a crush,” she sings.
In another part, she continues, “Now she’s coming up the stairs / So I pull up a chair / And I put my hair up.”
People quickly rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the sultry song.
“Oh Lunch is the happiest and best thing I have ever heard,” one person wrote. “Oh, the gays won.”
“Billie Eilish’s Lunch has done more for the gay community than any company’s activism during Pride month,” another joked.
Someone else announced, “Lunch by Billie is the new gay anthem.”

“Lunch made me gay again, thank you Billie,” read a third tweet, while a fourth said: “Didn’t expect Billie Eilish to drop the queer girl anthem of the summer.”
“It’s a great day to be a lesbian,” another user added. Another said: ‘Billie is in her lesbian era.’
Billie discussed her sexuality for the first time with Variety last year, revealing she was “physically attracted” to women.
Afterwards, she said she thought it was “obvious” as she thought about the world’s reaction to her confession.
At the time, she said she wasn’t really a fan of the concept of coming out, explaining, “I just thought, why can’t we just exist?”
“I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just haven’t talked about it… Oops. I have seen all the articles [and] said, “Oh, I think I came out today… Okay, cool.”
“But I think it’s exciting because I think people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know. I’m nervous to talk about it… but I’m for the girls.’
While chatting with Rolling stone about Lunch last month, the What am I made for? singer said writing the song went a long way toward discovering “who she is.”

After Hit Me Hard and Soft was released, people rushed to social media to discuss the 10 new songs, with Lunch turning heads thanks to its risqué lyrics describing Billie wanting to get intimate with another girl.
“That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to really be,” she said.
“I wrote some of it before I ever did anything with a girl, and the rest after.
‘I’ve had crushes on girls all my life, but I just didn’t understand it – until last year, [when] I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
Billie was extremely honest on her new album and also opened up about the constant criticism she faced over her performance in her song Skinny.
In the song, she sings about people commenting on her weight – something she has openly struggled about in the past.
The lyrics read: “People say I look happy / Just because I’m skinny / But the old me is still me and maybe the real me / And I think she’s beautiful.”
In a later verse, she adds, “And the internet is starving for the meanest kind of humor / And someone has to feed it.”
In 2019, the hitmaker opened up about why she often wears loose-fitting clothes, explaining that she liked baggy items because she didn’t want people to see her body.
Billie first discussed her sexuality with Variety last year, revealing at the time that she was “physically attracted” to “girls.” She was seen in January

‘I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big, baggy clothes. No one can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know?’ she said.
“No one can say, ‘Oh, she’s skinny, she’s not skinny, she has a flat ass, she has a big ass.’ No one can say anything about that because they don’t know.’
She also told Variety about her early years in the spotlight: “I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and safe enough to show it.
“If I had shown it at the time, I would have been devastated if people had said anything.”
