Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell, the Oscar-winning duo, recently appeared On the show Hot Ones Versus. They talked about their “longest, biggest argument” while working on their latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft. 

Finneas admitted that he often put his feet on the desk, which annoyed Billie. She confirmed this, saying he was usually barefoot or wearing dirty shoes and often had his feet near her face. They even filmed a lot of footage showing this.

Billie expressed during the episode, “And my face is like right there, and actually we filmed so much in making the album that almost all the footage is his feet and then me.” Their longest argument happened during a time when they were both trying to be honest with each other. Finneas admitted he was a bit arrogant, criticizing Billie for not being honest or authentic enough.

He praised saying "You were coming up with such beautiful melodies and cool cadences, that like then by the time we had full lyrics, everything else was done." Billie responded with a heartfelt "Aww, love that." Before the album's release on May 17, their single Birds of a Feather was featured in the teaser for Netflix's Heartstopper Season 3, which will be released on October 3. 

Billie and Finneas have won two Oscars together for their songs No Time To Die (from the James Bond movie No Time to Die) and What Was I Made For? (from Barbie).

Finneas described the song as tender and heartbreaking, recalling fond memories of writing it and performing it throughout the year. He mentioned that working on the song brought them into the Barbie entourage, which he found to be a fun group of cool and nice people.
