Billie Eilish denies that 'Your Power' is about her ex-boyfriend

Billie Eilish shut down interpretations of her eerie single "Your Power," which condemns abusive men and harmful power dynamics in relationships.

As noted in the singer's new Rolling Stone cover story, many fans assumed the song was inspired by Eilish's ex-boyfriend, Brandon Adams.

Reporter Brittany Spanos wrote that Eilish "strongly objects to this notion."

"Everybody needs to shut up," Eilish said.

The teenager's relationship and breakup with Adams, an artist who performs as 7:AMP, was revealed in her recent documentary.

The Apple TV+ film, titled "Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry," shows that Eilish and Adams were already dating when she turned 17. He was in his 20s at the time.

At the time, Eilish kept their relationship hidden from public view, so it's unclear how they met or how long they were together. The couple split in 2019 after he grew "really weird and distant," in Eilish's own words.

"I just wasn't happy," she said in the film. "And there was just a lack of effort, I think. I literally was just like, 'Dude, you don't even have enough love to love yourself, you can't love me. And you don't. Like, you think you do.'"

Eilish told Rolling Stone the documentary showed "a microscopic, tiny, tiny little bit of that relationship."

"Nobody knows about any of that, at all. I just wish people could just stop and see things and not have to say things all the time," she said of the "Your Power" assumptions.

When the song was released in April, Eilish said it was written "about many different situations that we've all either witnessed or experienced."

She also told Rolling Stone that her new songs contain more personal lyrics than her debut album, but fans shouldn't expect her to name names or clarify details.
