The story behind the song

"Wish You Were Gay" is a song from Billie Eilish's debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? She wrote it with her brother Finneas O'Connell when she was 14 years old. The lyrics explore her hope that a male love interest might be attracted only to men, as a reason for his lack of interest in her. The song incorporates an acoustic guitar, cracking knuckles as percussion, canned laughter, and applause.
