“ocean eyes” is the debut single from then 13-year-old Billie Eilish. She posted the song on SoundCloud where it organically went viral, generating over a million plays. The song has been officially remixed four times, featured in the extended play, Ocean Eyes (The Remixes).

In this song, Billie Eilish puts herself in the position of someone she hurt deeply, trying to understand what they went through.

The track has two music videos, with the first being the original, homemade version. It features Eilish against a flowing curtain, singing soulfully to the camera, filmed in one take on her own property. She goes on to talk more about the process of making the music video on a YouTube video with FBE:

This was the day after my birthday that we shot this. I had just turned 14. They put makeup on me that I did not want, and they did my hair very fucking weird. The difference between a 13-year-old and then a 16-year-old is so different.

The second is a dance video, highlighting Eilish’s passion for dance with vivid, interpretive choreography.
