Billie Eilish's "Chihiro"

"Chihiro" is the third track on Billie Eilish's third studio album. A snippet of "Chihiro" was released on Spotify, and she teased another snippet from the song in an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music. She also revealed a third official snippet of the song on April 13, 2024, while performing her surprise "Billie & Friends" set at the Do Lab during the first weekend of Coachella 2024.
Based on the lyrics, the theme of the song appears to be about heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past relationship.
The lyrics of "Chihiro" are poetic and open to interpretation. They seem to describe a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past relationship, with the speaker struggling to come to terms with its end.
It's being said that the title "Chihiro" is likely inspired by the 2001 Japanese animation "Spirited Away," which features a protagonist named Chihiro.

The song has a languid bass and airy refrain, begins soft and ends hard. An erotic crescendo of thumping techno-house reaches "Challengers" level of audial elation. It sounds like jazz, like something from the 1800/1900's.
The bass, her high and low tones, the beat drop....all chef's kiss.
I've been seeing some people comment on it saying it's definitely going to be in stranger things or in a show. This just shows how good it is.
