Following the release of the song "La Vas A Olvidar" (feat. Rosalía), Billie proved that she is able to sing in Spanish. She sang a few whole stanzas in Spanish. Why? This is a good question.
Well, the answer is unfriendly to Billie Eilish fans and more. But we will be objective and we will analyze non-subjectively why.
First of all, why of all languages did she choose to sing in Spanish? Hmm? How many people know Spanish? How many people speak Spanish as their native language? This is the answer.
Let's take a look at the Spanish-speaking population.
- Mexico, with a population of 120,286,655 people.
- Spain, with a population of 47,737,941 people.
- Colombia, with a population of 48,400,388 people.
- Argentina, with a population of 43,024,374 people.
- Peru, with a population of 30,147,935 people.
- Venezuela, with a population of 28,868,486 people.
- Chile, with a population of 17,363,894 people.
- Ecuador, with a population of 15,654,411 people.
- Guatemala, with a population of 14,647,083 people.
- Cuba, with a population of 11,047,251 people.
- Bolivia, with a population of 10,631,486 people.
- Dominican Republic, with a population of 10,349,741 people.
- Honduras, with a population of 8,598,561 people.
- Paraguay, with a population of 6,703,860 people.
- El Salvador, with a population of 6,125,512 people.
- Nicaragua, with a population of 5,848,641 people.
- Costa Rica, with a population of 4,755,234 people.
- Panama, with a population of 3,608,431 people.
- Uruguay, with a population of 3,332,972 people.
- Equatorial Guinea, with a population of 1,722,254 people.
- Puerto Rico, with a population of 3,620,897 people.
So we have a total of 446,096,904 people.
In short, this song is addressed to both Americans and English speakers, fans from other countries, but, in addition, this number of 446,096,904 people is added.
The more listeners she has, the more sales she will have, and the more she will earn.
So this is the answer to the question. It's not exactly what we expect to hear, but that's the answer.
However, she is our Billie and will always be loved, no matter what she is and in what language she sings.

[Outro: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish] El amor no puede medirse en un paso firme Un día se hundió y al otro puedo partirme I needed to go 'cause I needed to know you don't need me Could we put you so but it seems like you don't even see me El amor no puede medirse en un paso firme Un día se hundió y al otro puedo partirme You say it to me like that it something I have any choice in Like if wasn't important why would you waste all your poison

[Other: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish] Love cannot be measured in a steady step One day it sank and the next I can break I needed to go 'cause I needed to know you don't need me Could we put you so but it seems like you don't even see me Love cannot be measured in a steady step One day it sank and the next I can break You say it to me like that it something I have any choice in Like if it wasn't important why would you waste all your poison
