Billie Bossa Nova Lyrics » Billie Eilish
[Intro]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Da-da-da-da
[Verse 1]
Love when it comes without a warning
‘Cause waiting for it gets so boring
A lot can change in twenty seconds
A lot can happen in the dark
Love when it makes you lose your bearings
Some information’s not for sharing
Use different names at hotel check-ins
It’s hard to stop it once it starts (It starts)
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not sentimental
But there’s somethin’ ’bout the way you look tonight, mm
Makes me wanna take a picture
Make a movie with you that we’d have to hide
[Chorus]
You better lock your phone (Oh)
And look at me whеn you’re alone
Won’t take a lot to gеt you goin’ (Oh)
I’m sorry if it’s torture though
I know, I know

About Billie Eilish’s Billie Bossa Nova from Happier Than Ever (2021)
On “Billie Bossa Nova,” Eilish oozes sensuality and details using fake aliases at hotels in an effort to keep her and her lover’s identity private. Making use of a
beat created
by
FINNEAS
in 2019, this song shares the
same melody structure
as Billie’s November 2017 R&B hit
“bitches broken hearts.”
As for the title, in a July 2021 interview with
Madame Figaro
, Billie discussed the inspirations for the sound of her sophomore studio album,
Happier Than Ever
, and mentioned
Antonio Carlos Jobim
, the founding father of Brazil’s Bossa Nova, as a main inspiration for its sonority:
[…] It is inspired by the bossa-nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim, by this musical world which existed before me and which left us a marvelous heritage.
The beginning of what later would become this “marvelous heritage” in Eilish’s words, began in 1958 with the release of
João Gilberto
’s
“Chega de Saudade”
(English: No More Blues). Written by Jobim and
Vinicius de Moraes
in 1956, the song only came to prominence with João’s release, marking the use of
Bossa Nova’s characteristic guitar percussion
for the first time.
Besides this distinctive attribute in guitar’s playing, young artists —
in the middle of Brazil’s urbanization and industrialization process in late 50s
— aimed at making Brazilian music more accessible to the world. In consequence, providing a calm rhythm along with a languid tempo, the genre
distinguished itself from samba music
; that with characteristics of guitar’s two-bar pattern and featuring elements of American jazz, chords and harmonies.
Bossa Nova’s craving to be established out of country is more than seen with
Happier Than Ever
’s third track: two young American brothers paying tribute to those young Brazilian artists, who more than achieved their desire, seven decades after being the pillars of Bossa Nova in Brazil—Jobim’s
“The Girl From Ipanema,”
Bossa Nova’s best known song, is one of the most recorded songs of all time,
allegedly only second
to
The Beatles
’ 1965 ballad,
“Yesterday”
.

FAQs About Billie Bossa Nova
What has Billie said about the song?

“Billie Bossa Nova” is a little bit of a fancy, I don’t know what. We actually called this song “Billie Bossa Nova” because in, I want to say, spring of 2019, my brother sent me a beat he had made. He called it “Billie Bossa Nova” ‘cause it was just a bossa nova-type beat and I was like “that’s amazing” and then nothing happened for a year and a half. Then we listened to it again and kinda wrote this fantasy, romanticized, glorified, dream.
What did Billie Eilish say about “Billie Bossa Nova”?

Rolling Stone
We have to do a lot of goofy bullshit when we go on tour, where we enter through freight elevators in hotels and stuff, so that paparazzi doesn’t follow us to our room. And so we acted as if there was also a secret love affair going on in there of Billie being like, ‘Nobody saw me in the lobby/Nobody saw me in your arms,’ as if there was a mystery person in her life during all of that.
What is Bossa Nova?
Bossa Nova
is a traditional Brazilian music genre from the mid-20th Century. It stems from Samba-Jazz and is characterised by a smooth feel and interesting rythmic features. Its origin is quite controversial, since it was made in a way of “whitening” Samba. As of it, Bossa Nova has basically the same structure as Samba, but with slower tempo.
In Portuguese, it literally translates as “New Wave” or “New Trend”, but ‘bossa’ was already being colloquially used to mean ‘fashionable’ or ‘trendy’.
