Idk, idc

Idk, Idc (often stylised as "idk, idc") is a song by Billie Eilish and the main single of her album "18:37".

It was released the 23rd of August and recieved very positive feedback.

## Theme

This song is about a friend Billie met online talking in a group chat. They spoke and found out they had a lot in common and were dealing with similar issues. They never revealed their names to each other or shared pictures of themselves. They only knew that both of them were 13-year-old girls dealing with many problems.

Unfortunately, they lost contact after Billie began to promote her career as a singer, however, she has said that speaking to her helped her go through moments where she felt devastated.

The lyrics describe Billie's indifference to whether her internet friend is black or white, part of the LGBT+ community or not and her religious background, because she is still going to feel affection for her regardless of that.

"The song was destined to her, because she really helped me to feel better when I was worst" Billie says "But is also to anyone in general. It's a reminder that what is important is the inside of a person - their personality and inner soul. I think it is disgusting when people change their mind about someone because of what they look like and who they feel attracted to."

## Lyrics

***[Verse 1]***

You helped me through the worst of times

You told me "Life is like that sometimes"

You made me feel like it was all gonna be okay

You never walked away

***[Pre-Chorus]***

You truly cared about me

I truly cared about you

Wish I could talk to you again

But unfortunately I can't

***[Chorus]***

I don't really know how you look like

But you are gorgeous on the inside

I don't really care if you like girls or boys

That aint something that makes me annoyed

***[Verse 2]***

I was really happy to have somebody to talk to

Whenever I was feelin' blue

I always talked to you

Whenever I was sad, you always knew

What I was going through

We got eachother

Nobody understood

***[Pre-Chorus]***

You truly cared about me

I truly cared about you

Wish I could talk to you again

But unfortunately I can't

***[Chorus]***

I don't really know how you look like

But you are gorgeous on the inside

I don't really care if you like girls or boys

That aint something that makes me annoyed

***[Verse 3]***

Whenever I felt paranoid

You made me feel safe

Like nobody else has before

Wish I coulda talked to you more

***[Pre-Chorus]***

You truly cared about me

I truly cared about you

Wish I could talk to you again

But unfortunately I can't

***[Chorus]***

I don't really know how you look like

But you are gorgeous on the inside

I don't really care if you like girls or boys

That aint something that makes me annoyed

***[Bridge]***

When there was a deep, deep void

And my heart was destroyed

Only thing I knew was you lived in Detroit

Didn't know your name

But we still went through the same

***[Chorus]***

I don't really know how you look like

But you are gorgeous on the inside

I don't really care if you like girls or boys

That aint something that makes me annoyed

***[Chorus]***

I don't really know how you look like

But you are gorgeous on the inside

I don't really care if you like girls or boys

That aint something that makes me annoyed
