Billie Eilish explains a bit of her recording process over fried chicken

Billie Eilish’s latest album is lusty and romantic, the exact vibe the 22-year-old singer brought to her recent Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg. For the uninitiated, Chicken Shop Date is a bit like Hot Ones, if Sean Evans was British and asked spicy questions instead of eating spicy wings. As is usually the case, Dimoldenberg spent much of the episode shamelessly flirting with her guest. With Eilish having just put out a certified hit about the difference between a “craving” and a “crush,” however, the format felt particularly appropriate.

“I become insane when I have a crush,” Eilish said. “When I don’t have a crush life feels so empty.” She also shared some advice for anyone hoping that that crush might be them one day: all they have to do is smell nice. “That’s the first thing that I notice,” the singer said. “I have a very strong nose, so if somebody smells good, I like them more.” Her other turn ons include personality and passion. Just don’t expect to ever have her favorite laugh in the world. That honor is adorably reserved for her brother and collaborator, Finneas.
