Was Ocean Eyes the first song?
Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry starts with Billie and her song "Ocean Eyes." It was uploaded to the internet and then made its way to a radio station. From there, we see her singing on stage and dancing in the blue light. She explains that she grew up in an environment of musicians, which includes her mom, dad, and brother. They all enjoyed the creative process of making music. Her sketchbook is loaded with artwork which inspires the album style. Both Billie and her brother Finneas work on the lyrics and sound of the music together. Billie also speaks with her mother to rehearse the music video she wants to make before she begins working with the professional film crew. She has a strong drive to create music and be involved in all of its creative aspects.
Creative Struggle
Billie's parents are very supportive of her music, possibly because they have a lot of work experience in the entertainment industry themselves. Their insights on the industry helped Billie and Finneas work on the music to complete the album by December of that year. Finneas is much more aware of what the head of A&R is looking for in a hit song, while Billie wants to stay true to what she likes in her own ears. Billie struggles with songwriting in contrast to Finneas, who enjoys the process. When her album is released, she talks about it on the radio station promoting the music to various radio stations.
The film also shows that Billie loves Justin Bieber very much, to the point of being lovesick. Her mother describes her daughter's affection for the singer, and she can't imagine how any pop singer could succeed without having parents who will love and support them throughout their careers. In the documentary, Billie also explains her love interest and the struggle of trying to fix someone who is broken. She is trying to share her feelings with others through her music while also figuring out her own persona as she grows up and continues making music.
As a viewer, it's striking to witness such success at an early age. While Billie's music is uniquely hers, the influences of Justin Bieber and several other rap artists are clearly evident in her stylistic wardrobe choices. Her first album is a big hit, and she reaches an audience her own age. Billie plans out her style of music and the accompanying videos. The movie shows how she continues to sing on stage even when her legs are hurting.

Her energy and enthusiasm continue as her curious mind strives to understand the world and the music she is making. Her music has a dark and sad tone because she relates to those feelings and wants to share them with others. For her, she enjoys listening to emotional music when she is in the same emotional space, such as listening to a love song when she is in love.
Fame
Fans of her music are always snapping pictures on their phones when they catch a glimpse of her. Billie's online follower count keeps rising as she continues touring. She has a kind of DIY underground music creativity that is not typically seen in the music industry, where popularity drives sales. Her secret sauce is being a young female musician in the age of social media, where music is easily streamed 24/7. She continues to connect with fans and entertainment professionals alike. Artists mutually appreciate each other's work. This film provides the average person with an insight into the life of a pop star in the music industry. The mind of a musician is incredibly active, their emotional state publicly communicated through their songs. It's not only mentally, but also physically demanding to be on stage, traveling from city to city, performing live for thousands of eager fans who yearn to connect through music. For some, that moment of listening to music could be the highlight of their year, or it could be their last song, considering the unpredictable nature of life.
