She continued: “I want people to listen to me. And not just trying to figure out who I’m talking about, because it’s irrelevant to that. The song isn’t really about any specific person. You might think, “That’s because she’s in the music industry” but no. This happens everywhere”.

Speaking to Rolling Stone’s Britney Spanos, Eilish commented: “There’s almost no song on this album that’s fun.” And when mentioning “Your power”, the female singer shared: “I was concerned about releasing this song because it is my favorite song. I feel like the world doesn’t deserve to hear it.”

Additionally, Eilish told Vevo: “I wanted to create a work that is eternal, not just for the listeners, but truly eternal for me”.
