Billie Eilish<\/a> spoke with Apple Music<\/a>\u2019s Zane Lowe about her recent Oscars performance<\/a> and the process behind penning her new James Bond theme song, \u201cNo Time to Die,<\/a>\u201d in an interview<\/a> that will air on Friday.<\/p>\n

The singer, who has been under the weather since the Oscars, appeared from her sick bed in the video interview as Lowe asked her questions from his studio. \u201cI was sick for all of the Oscars, I bombed that performance,\u201d she said. \u201cThat was trash.\u201d Lowe did not concur.<\/p>\n

Eilish said she felt a bit like a fish out of water amidst all the movie stars during the Academy Awards ceremony. \u201cI\u2019m not used to that. At least the Grammys wasn\u2019t as scary because it was, like, artists,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd it felt like my people, if felt like, \u2018Oh, look, a bunch of artists!\u2019 And I knew a lot of them already and I\u2019d met them and they knew of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, she premiered \u201cNo Time to Die,\u201d which she co-wrote with her brother Finneas. Titled after the upcoming Bond movie, she said that she and Finneas used to make up songs intended for a Bond movie, but never imagined they\u2019d actually write the theme song one day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what\u2019s funny about it, like two years ago, we were like, wouldn\u2019t it be crazy to make a song for the Bond movies, and, like, wouldn\u2019t that be dope?\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd so, kind of for two years-ish, we\u2019ve been subconsciously trying to\u2026 in our own way. And, like, we\u2019ve written songs that have never come out that are, like, oh, this sounds like Bond, like, this would be dope, like, it would never happen, whatever. And then this offer came up and we were like, \u2018Ahhhh!’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was honestly like a great process,\u201d she said after they were tapped to pen the song. \u201cWe got a piece of the script, like the first scene and then wrote the song immediately and we wrote it in three days and we wrote it in Texas and we recorded it in a bunk on the bus, in the basement in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a team effort as well. \u201cI thought it would just be like, here\u2019s the song, and they take it and then they, then I would have no say,\u201d Eilish said. \u201cBut they actually were completely, they really wanted to know what I think \u2026 We worked with Hans [Zimmer] and the entire orchestra, they recorded all of the orchestra when we went there.\u201d They continued to work together to bring it to where it is now. \u201cIt went through a lot of different versions and then we got it,\u201d she said. \u201cWe all worked really hard, Hans was incredibly easy to work with and he\u2019s so funny and it was a really good, collaborative experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 18, Eilish is the youngest person to write and record a Bond theme song. No Time to Die<\/em>, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, opens in theaters April 10th.<\/p>\n
