Billie Eilish has released the music video for her new single, “My Future”.

Eilish debuted the new track on Friday (31 July), along with an animated music video showing a cartoon version of the “Bad Guy” singer connecting with nature in a magical forest.

What starts as a haunting piano ballad picks up tempo at the song’s midpoint, with a strong guitar and Eilish’s signature electronic style appearing as her animated avatar is lifted up by a tree.

The lyrics find the 18-year-old singing about discovering happiness on her own, with the chorus going: “I’m in love / With my future / Can’t wait to meet her / And I’m in love / But not with anybody else / Just wanna get to know myself.”

“I know supposedly I’m lonely now,” Eilish sings. “Know I’m supposed to be unhappy / Without someone / But aren’t I someone?”

Her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was released in March 2019 and featured singles “Bad Guy” and “Bury a Friend”.
