Eilish described the song as "kind of a sequel to 'Party Favor'" in an interview with Coup de Main. The following year, she released "When the Party's Over," which is also framed as a one-sided phone conversation. The song is designed to sound like a voicemail that Eilish is leaving for a boy on his birthday, breaking up with him. "I Didn't Change My Number" is the second track on "Happier Than Ever."Įilish's 2017 song "Party Favor" begins with the sound of a phone ringing. Most obviously, Eilish references the album title and 15th track: "I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor." She seems to warn listeners that her titular phrase is somewhat misleading more ambition than a current state of being. Eilish alludes to her experience with "deranged" stalkers ("It's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door"), which she revisits in "NDA," as well as "trauma" she's endured from men ("Wasn't my decision to be abused"), which inspired songs like "Your Power" and "Male Fantasy." "Getting Older" introduces several themes explored later in the tracklist. "Every interview I did when I was 15 is still out there, and I think about it constantly." "I said so many things then that I totally don't agree with now, or think the opposite thing," she said. She previously told Vogue Australia that she's very preoccupied with her old interviews existing on the internet, especially since she got famous so young she would say things that sounded cool, even if they weren't true. In the second verse, Eilish admits that she lacked honesty in the past ("Lying for attention just to get neglection"). Like, 'Oh, this is something I used to love and now it feels like a job.' It's not, like, 'Oh, I hate this now.' It's different. "Things that I enjoy can sometimes just turn into things that feel like a burden, and it's really weird. "That line isn't really, like, 'Oh, boohoo, I'm sad' - it's really just a f-ing fact," Eilish said. She also explained the chorus' opening couplet in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "Things I once enjoyed / Just keep me employed now." "I had to take a break in the middle of writing that one, and I wanted to cry, because it was so revealing," Eilish said. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish described "Getting Older" as "the truth." "Getting Older" is the first track on "Happier Than Ever."
