Billie Eilish 'The World's a Little Blurry' Movie: What We Learned

It’s finally here! Billie Eilish‘s The World’s a Little Blurry documentary is available for streaming on AppleTV+, and it’s giving fans a never-before-seen look into the songstress’ life in the public eye.

“I don’t think of them as fans, ever,” she said at one point in the nearly two-and-a-half-hour film. “They’re not my fans — they’re, like, part of me.”

After her debut single, “Ocean Eyes” was released in 2016, Billie’s supporters were the ones who took her from a little-known artist straight to the top. Now she’s known as a Grammy-Award winner, and this movie is a gift from the pretty private musician to the ones who love her the most.

Between her obsession with Justin Bieber, relationship with her family and even some tea about an ex-boyfriend, Billie did not hold back during The World’s a Little Blurry, and that’s why we love her! Scroll through our gallery for everything learned about the “Bad Guy” songstress from her documentary.

Past Love

Billie revealed the identity of her ex-boyfriend Brandon Quention Adams (Q), with whom she split in 2019. “I love you and I’m in love with you,” she told him at one point. Before they split, Billie got candid about her ex, explaining that he was “self-destructive.”

“I just wasn’t happy, and I didn’t want the same things he wanted, and I don’t think that’s fair for him. I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about certain things that the other person couldn’t care less about. I don’t think that’s fair to you,” Billie explained when confirming their breakup. “I didn’t think that was fair to him. 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, dude. And you don’t. You think you do.’”

Mental Health Struggles

Both Billie and her mom, Maggie Baird, reflected on the “Therefore I Am” songstress’ mental health struggles during her teen years. “I’m really bad about taking care of my mental health,” Billie explained during the film. “I’m a person who wants to make things better for other people and do the right thing no matter what it’s doing to me.”

Her mom added, “It’s a hard time for teenagers, I think … People are like, ‘Oh, Billie Eilish’s music is depressing.’ It’s like, no, kids are depressed … There’s a lot to be depressed about right now.”

Rising to Fame

“This is so weird, you guys, I’m nobody,” Billie said during a performance clip. “I don’t know why you like me.”

Over the course of the documentary, the California native’s entire rise to fame is explored. From the moment her first song debuted on the radio to performing at Coachella in 2019, it was all filmed for fans.

The Justin Bieber Obsession

It’s no secret that Billie’s obsession with Justin is, well, relatable. “I know his face. I know everything about him. He was born in St. Jude’s Hospital on March 1st at 12:56 a.m. on the second floor,” she recalled after meeting him at Coachella in 2019. “He came over to me and I ran away from him. He just stood there and looked at me with his eyes.”

Billie remembered crying in Justin’s arms “for five minutes.”

A Musical Family

“Our family was just one big f–kin’ song,” she says about her childhood. As fans know, with the help of her brother, Finneas, the pair became a dynamic musical duo.

“It feels like kind of a minefield to me, because I feel like I’ve been told to write a hit, but I’ve been told to not tell Billie that we have to write a hit,” Finneas recalled about making music with her sister. “And Billie hates writing songs in general and is so woke about her own persona on the internet that I think she’s terrified of anything she makes being hated. I think her equation is that the more popular something is, the more hate it’s gonna get.”
