Wish You Were Gay

Wish You Were Gay by Billie Eilish deals with the frustration of unrequited love and wishing that the reason the other person is not interested is something as simple as sexual orientation. Billie explained that the song was inspired by her own experience of liking someone who didn’t feel the same way about her and jokingly wished that they were gay to make the rejection feel less personal.
