Billie Eilish – my future (Official Music Video)

The year 2020 became unforgettable for people around the world.

For children who spent what should have been a long-awaited summer vacation in self-restraint and masks, how will the summer of 2020 be remembered in the years to come? Here, I would like to recommend Billie Eilish’s song “my future,” released in July 2020 by the young top star of contemporary pop music, born in 2001, as a track to listen to at the end of summer.

The lyrics, which convey a nuance of “being in love with my future,” evoke the strength of young people who keep looking forward even in chaotic times, and for Billie—who has often dealt with introspective and negative themes—this is a rare, gently melodic, bright, and positive song.

Each time you recall that difficult summer, why not listen to this track and imagine the end of hard days and the beginning of a new future?
