To coincide with the release of the Hit Me Hard and Soft, Eilish also shared the self-directed video for the immediate highlight “Lunch,” as seen above. The song sees her embracing her sexuality, something she opened up about in a post on Instagram last year. “I like boys and girls please leave me alone about it,” she wrote after accusing Variety of outing her on a red carpet. “You need a seat? I’ll volunteer,” she sings on the standout track.
