During a recent discussion at a Hollywood Reporter songwriter roundtable with Dua Lipa, Cynthia Erivo, Olivia Rodrigo, Jon Batiste and Julia Michaels, the music star opened up about the praise she's received for her songs.
“It’s hard to believe,” the “Happier Than Ever” singer-songwriter said of her reaction to her music helping someone through a difficult time. I find myself like…”
“It’s annoying,” Julia Michaels then interrupted.
“Yeah, I don't really know how to believe it because I know what it's like to be in that position and it's so real. And knowing that you are helping someone who is in this situation is truly hard to believe and amazing… so special. You almost feel like you don’t deserve it,” the 22-year-old singer explained. “As if I don’t deserve to help you with this,” she insisted.
However, Billie Eilish recognizes it: “It’s so special and powerful”
And sometimes she is speechless and shocked when “people say things like that.”
The Bad Guy singer is currently nominated for a Golden Globe and five Grammys for “What Was I Made For?”; from the soundtrack of the movie Barbie.
