Billy Eilish gives her take on recreational drug use with a new self-directed visual for Zanny
[E] [Eb]
[B] Zanny [Gbm] is the sixth official video from Billy's breakout album when we all fall asleep
Where do we go?
It features her singing as [F] cigarettes are put out on her face
The song was [E] written after a night of seeing her friends party a little too hard and the lyrics find her questioning the popularity of
Irresponsible drug use just watching my [Gb] friends become completely not who they [B] were
Watching their personalities [D] just like crumple up and like [B] fall.
They just keep doing nothing
[Db] [D] till intoxicated
To be scared
The title is a reference to the prescription drug Xanax used for managing anxiety
And it's also become popular for recreational use and has shown up in plenty of hip-hop songs
Zanny all the [Bm] friends I make, Zanny make it [Dm] go away
Baby welcome to the party
I'm off the myazine lane, [Ebm] that's why I'm a retarde
I hit that [B] FBO with duffels in my hands
[Ebm] I did half a Zan, 13 hours till I land, had me out like a light
[F] Back on Zanny the track also represents her sadness around the passing of her friend rapper [B] XXXTentacion
She wrote the track days after his murder and her feelings at the time seemed to appear in the songs Uneasy Vibe
It's really like hard and especially was really hard to record that song because I was really
[E] Caught up about it
Yeah, I was really emotional about it.
The song also touches on Billy's [Bm] dislike for smoking
[E] [Ab] [Gbm]
[F] [A] Kissing someone who tastes [F] like an ashtray sucks and it's not attractive bro
It's just not but the jazz inspired song also emulates the sound of smoke
I just wanted it to sound the way that it [E] feels to just
[Bb] breathe in
[Bm] recycled breath
Recycled poisonous [E] breath I may add
Finally Billy asserts that she can't keep friends who abuse drugs with no regard for their lives while others die from
Circumstances beyond their control and she specifically [Eb] name-checks a hipster Southern, California [Bm] town
Somewhere
