“Therefore I Am” is a song by Billie Eilish. It was released through Darkroom and Interscope Records on November 12, 2020. The song was written by Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell, with production being solely handled by the latter.
“Therefore I Am” is an uptempo pop and dark pop track. Lyrically, Eilish sings about not caring what people think about her. A music video was released on the same day, and depicts Eilish in an empty shopping mall while eating and drinking various foods and beverages.
A music video for “Therefore I Am” premiered on Eilish’s YouTube channel on November 12, 2020 at 1 pm Eastern Time/10 am Pacific Time and was featured on the Viacom Times Square billboard. The video was solely directed by Eilish. The video was shot inside the Glendale Galleria shopping mall in California, where she would frequently go when she was a young teenager.
Eilish told Lowe about the video: “The video is just the way that the song feels to me—careless and not really trying. The video, we, number one, shot on an iPhone, which we didn’t even mean to do.” She described the video as both “random” and “chaotic”, and revealed that it was filmed overnight with “barely any crew.” Fans believe Eilish made the music video in order to prove that she does not care what people think about her body.
