“Therefore I Am” by Billie Eilish
December 31, 2020
“Therefore I Am” by Billie Eilish is my favorite song of this year because I am a huge fan of her and any music she puts out. She makes me feel powerful and comfortable with myself when I listen. Billie’s music is always catchy and I can listen to it, no matter the mood I’m in. This song specifically focuses on calling out her body shamers. She is letting them know that she does not care what people say or think about her body; it’s her’s and no one else’s. The line “Get my pretty name out of your mouth”, signifies that she may see what you are saying about her, but she doesn’t care and will continue to be herself the way she wants to. That’s my favorite line out of the whole song because I see it as, my name is too pretty for someone to just say it whenever or however they want.
This song is really a song for those to build their confidence and to feel good about themselves. It’s upbeat sound and catchy phrases such as “I think therefore I am” states that not only should a person think they are the baddest of them all, they should know they are the baddest of them all. You can dance to it while loving yourself all in one, just like Billie did in the music video.Her positivity and authenticity in the song make it my favorite song of the year.
