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. > > https://genius.com/Billie-eilish-ocean-eyes-lyrics
