Billie Eilish recently described her collaboration with Charli XCX as “the dream.” This partnership marked a notable exception to Eilish’s usual stance on collaborating with other artists. In a 2023 Vanity Fair interview, Eilish had openly expressed her reluctance to collaborate, highlighting it as an unpleasant experience. However, in 2024, she joyfully reflected on her work with the “360” hitmaker Charli XCX, noting how their collaboration unfolded smoothly and exceeded her expectations.
The creative process began with Charli sending over the song’s stems, after which Eilish and her brother, Finneas, went for a hike. Upon their return, they headed to the studio, wrote a verse for the track “Guess,” and sent it back, completing the process in record time. Eilish described this experience as her ideal way of working, saying, “that’s my dream.”
The production of “Guess” was remarkably swift: the pair even shot and edited the music video within a few days. Eilish expressed her astonishment at the rapid pace, calling it “the craziest, fastest” production she had ever been part of.
Eilish’s enthusiasm for the collaboration was sparked upon first hearing “Guess” on Charli XCX’s “Brat” album. She admired the song’s energy and expressed a wish to have a track like it, never anticipating that she would get the opportunity to collaborate on it.
This collaboration stands out not only for its success and the praise it has garnered but also for signaling a shift in Eilish’s approach to collaborations. Eilish’s appreciative comments and the project’s seamless execution suggest the potential for more such partnerships in the future, as she continues to evolve her artistic journey.
