Initially, Billie fell for his gimmick of 7:Amp the “misunderstood” rebel, so to speak. This is the aftereffect of him ‘ruining everything good’, as put in the outro, that existed between them. So now in the present, Billie and Amp have in fact broken up. And going back to the chorus/title, what the vocalist is telling the addressee is that she’s “happier than ever” that he is out of her life. And this subject happens to be the main point of the third verse and the entire song really.īut in the last verse she gets a bit more varied in her complaints. For instance, Amp was someone who ‘never showed up on time’. Also, he obviously had little regard of Billie’s mom and friends. And rather than siding with them, who were obviously in the right, Billie decided to support Amp. And this made it all the more “embarrassing” and disheartening when he went about mistreating her, i.e. Verse 3Īnd it is also 7:Amp whom she spoke about in times past in regards to her lack of happiness when dealing with him. Moreover, this is the part of the song which most blaringly points to the relationship between Eilish and Amp, as she is on record beefing about an incident in which he drove drunk. And logically, the reason she was so upset is because she didn’t want dude to wind up doing anything tragic, like perhaps hurting himself or someone else.Īnd overall, such behavior caused a major riff in their relationship as well as making the vocalist more depressed in general. However, he not only ignored her but favored his “f–king friends” who urge him otherwise. Verse 2Īnd in the second verse it reads as if the above is something which Billie advised 7:Amp against constantly. Getting behind the wheel of a car while drunk.
We are however, not enlightened to what exactly she told him that set him off in the first place.Īnd she’s also shaken by what he does when she isn’t around, such as “driving… under the influence”, i.e. A celebrity. And concerning her relationship with the addressee, most simply put she appears to be presenting him as a hothead.įor example, it seems that she was tasked with telling him something that she knew may make him angry. So she instructs him beforehand to “be cool about”, which he apparently agreed to. However, upon actually hearing what she had to say, he ‘did the opposite of what he said he’d do’.Īnd in the process he ended up making her “more afraid”. So it obviously reads like the addressee has a bad temper which the vocalist used to fear.
Actually that is really the only clue in the verse that Billie may be singing about herself, i.e. Well actually the first verse, which relies heavily on ambiguous wording, doesn’t really read as if it is personally specific. Here it becomes evident that that vocalist and addressee have some type of beef. And even though it is never stated forthrightly we also get the impression, also taking into consideration the chorus (that came before the first verse), that this is a romantic interest the vocalist is speaking to.Īnd again, the language used in this passage is such that it’s hard to pin down specifically what’s going on. The vocalist refers to herself giving “interviews”. This would have been during the time that Billie’s first album blew up. And being that this has in fact been the songstress’ only true romance to date, it has gotten ample coverage, despite both parties rarely speaking upon it. And it is based on such comments that Billie has made that her fans have been able to piece together that “Happier Than Ever” is about said rapper as opposed to, say a make-believe partner. As it stands now Billie, who is still a teenager, has only been in one serious romantic relationship to speak of, that being with the aforementioned 7:Amp. Now it is very much probable that unless you’re adept in Pirate’s personal history, you never heard of 7:Amp before. But they dated for a couple of years, from 2018 up until 2020.
