Billie Eilish Forgot Her Own Lyrics, & I Think We Might Be the Same Person

Carissa Dunlap

Okay, let’s get real for a hot second. Have you ever pulled an all-nighter to study for a major exam and right when it’s time to answer that first question, your mind just completely blanks? Well, that’s basically what happened to Billie Eilish during a performance of one of her songs at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California on Saturday. Of course, she handled the moment like a pro and remained chill AF. 

During her debut live performance of “all the good girls go to hell,” Eilish forgot some of the words to the song. In videos captured by audience members, you can see her singing the song like nobody’s business until she stumbled on the lyrics and started singing “da da da” to the beat of the song. “F—ck! What the F—ck are the words, though?” she said. Luckily, fans cheered her on and sang the lyrics until she found her spot again. 

Honestly, if I were performing in front of a huge crowd at Coachella, I definitely would have forgotten the words too. It’s, for sure, a nerve-wracking situation, and Eilish managed like a boss. 

Many supported the singer on social media and thought Eilish forgetting the words to her own song at Coachella was such a mood. 

And then there were others who weren’t as forgiving. 

We definitely all have those moments, so I think we all can look past a few forgotten lyrics. And TBH, the moment just made Billie Eilish even more relatable and lovable in my eyes.
