“It sounds bad, and I sound horrible—I can’t sound good because I’m not good,†Eilish says at one point.
“You guys need to be fucking okay, because y’all are the reason I’m okay.†At another point, Eilish talks about cutting herself when she was 14 and how far she’s come since then.
In one hilarious scene, Eilish is forced to meet and mingle with “friends of the label,†a group of middle-aged men who have clearly never listened to her music before.
“I don’t want to meet all these fucking randos,†she says backstage.
