    • @Your Power: Actually, I just noticed a problem with the second hook. The source doesn't seem to verify that she wanted to not put the song on her second album, rather it seems to say that she didn't want to make the song at all. If there was a way your could rework the second hook to fit the source that would be great. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:04, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
      • @Onegreatjoke: ah, Well. I have rewritten that part of the article to be closer to what the sources say. Actually, what she was "conflicted" about was revealing the full context about the song during the interview. I could reword ALT1 to clarify that change, but it would be absolutely boring as people refuse to disclose very personally sensitive information all the time. ALT0 is good enough for me. ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ ‍ 💬 "What did I tell you?"

Alright, AGFing this here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Okay, incredibly sorry, but after some thought I found ALT0 to be ineffective for me personally, so I'll be rewording it. While the gist of the new hook remains the same, it is somewhat different in terms of the exact information it provides. @Onegreatjoke feel free to provide your thoughts - note that I don't really mind if you pick the first hook over this one. ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ ‍ 💬 "What did I tell you?"

    • ALT2 ... that Billie Eilish had to take a break from writing a song alluding to her childhood trauma and sexual abuse? Source: The Weekend Australian Magazine "She had to take a break while they were writing it – it was too intense"; The Guardian "'Getting Older' [deals] with sexual coercion"; Billboard "She was abused when she was younger ... Eilish predicted that some might question how she's choosing to present herself right now — '"You're going to complain about being taken advantage of as a minor, but then you're going to show your boobs?'" — and had this to say: 'Yes I am, motherf—er! I’m going to because there's no excuse.'"
Ok Approving that. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
