Billie Eilish directed the video for her latest single Chihiro herself, and in the dreamy music video Eilish escapes an empty building and sprints outside, where she gets in a hands-on tussle with another person. Billie Eilish has opened up about the meaning behind the lyrics to the single, and how they are inspired by the film Spirited Away.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Billie said: “The song is loosely based off of that movie, which is one of my favorites. It’s kind of from her point of view, mixed with mine. The visuals in that movie are some of the best ever — all that Studio Ghibli shit is unbelievable.”
She added: “There’s all those visuals of the train in the water after the flood, and it literally looks like an ocean with a train track. I had just watched Spirited Away and Finneas had made that beat. I love that movie. I’ve seen it so many times.”
