Singer is set to kick off her Hit Me Hard and Soft in Quebec on Sunday
Billie Eilish is just going with the flow of life — even if it might hurt in the end. On Friday, the musician released the video for “Birds of a Feather,” which watches the singer calmly dragged through an office building as she sings about her overtaking feelings.
The Aidan Zamiri-directed video opens with Eilish singing along to the track before her arms start jerking around as if she were a puppet tied to invisible strings.
Eilish — clearly unbothered as she smiles while singing — starts spinning in her chair before being dragged and smashed into different rooms of an office building. “I’ll love you until the day that I die,” she sings before smashing into a glass room, shattering her glasses.
The new visual reconnects Eilish and Zamiri, who also directed the video for Charli XCX’s “Guess,” which featured Eilish. “Love you so much twin,” she wrote on an Instagram post about the video. The video also marks her third from Hit Me Hard, following “Chihiro” and “Lunch.”

“Even in a great pop year that’s already been a super-chunk cluster-bunch of bold statements for mega-pop queens, Hit Me Hard and Soft stands out as something uniquely strange,” read a Rolling Stone review of the project by Rob Sheffield, calling “Birds of a Feather” a “poignant Eighties-flavored love song that could pass for vintage Sade or George Michael.”
Eilish is set to perform again on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 19 after she launches her Hit Me Hard and Soft arena tour on Sept. 29 in Quebec.
