"I don't like when a song just ends an album and then nothing feels like it's actually over. "I don't like when albums just end," Eilish told MTV News. "Goodbye" completes a three-song farewell, which Eilish designed to feel like a sentence: "Listen before I go, I love you, goodbye." The final flourish stitches together moments, emotions, and pieces of production from the rest of the tracklist, so the the album ends on an immersive and cohesive note.
"Goodbye" is the 14th and final track on "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Song highlight: The way she describes the irreversibility of a broken relationship: "Look, now I know, we coulda done it better / But we can't change the weather / When the weather's come and gone / Books don't make sense if you read 'em backwards / You'll single out the wrong words / Like you mishear all my songs." While "Party Favor" is a creative and brutal portrayal of just how ruthless breakups can be, the song doesn't beg to be listened to on loop as some of Eilish's other breakup songs do, like "Watch" and "B-es Broken Hearts." - Claudia Willen "Party Favor" starts off with a phone ringing before a man says to "leave a message." The following soft vocals and ukulele are then formatted as a voicemail of someone breaking it off with a possessive partner.Īnd although Eilish warns that her partner's "number might be blocked" and threatens to "call the cops, if you don't stop," it's not until nearly halfway through the song that the singer reveals the biggest blow: she's dumping someone on their birthday.
"Party Favor" is the fifth track on "Don't Smile at Me." Song highlight: It ends with applause, perfectly setting up the following track, "When the Party's Over," which is one of Eilish's best songs of all time. From the average production to the cringey lyrics, there's nothing here that makes it worth listening to over her other, far superior tracks. I tried so hard to not make it in any way offensive."īut aside from the negative discourse around it, the song also just isn't Eilish's best.
I feel like it's been a little bit misinterpreted. "Wish You Were Gay" is the sixth track on "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"Įilish faced backlash when she released the fourth single for her highly-acclaimed debut album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" While fans hoped the track would be an LGBTQ anthem, they were disappointed when it turned out to be about wishing for a boy who didn't love her back to be gay.Įilish has responded to the backlash, telling PopBuzz, "First off, I want to be so clear that it's so not supposed to be an insult.
