Background and release

edit

On July 24, 2020, Eilish took to her Instagram page to post a picture of herself standing on a balcony with the skyline of Los Angeles in the background, wearing a black face mask and a grey jogging suit. The post featured the caption "'my future' out Thursday".[3][4][5] On July 28, 2020, Eilish promoted the track by sharing the animated cover art, which depicts her sitting under a tree while looking at the Moon.[6] On July 29, Eilish shared a 20-second audio clip of "My Future" on Instagram.[6][7] "My Future" was inspired by Eilish being alone in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Eilish stated: "We wrote the song in like two days, This is the most we've ever worked in one period of time. But we record, we wrote it like a month into quarantine probably. And it was pouring rain. [...] [I]t was such a perfect setting. And then we recorded the vocal in Finneas' studio, which is just in his basement in his house".[9] Eilish added that "it was exactly where my head was at - hopeful, excited and a craaaazy amount of self-reflection and self-growth. But recently it has also taken on a lot of new meaning in the context of what's happening in the world now. I hope you can all find meaning in it for yourselves."[10][11] "My Future" was written by Eilish alongside her brother Finneas O'Connell, while production was solely handled by the latter. The track was mastered by John Greenham and mixed by Rob Kinelski, both of whom served as studio personnel.[12] It was released for digital download and streaming as the lead single from Eilish's second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021) on July 30, 2020, via Darkroom and Interscope Records.[13][14]

Composition

edit

Critical commentary described "My Future" as an uptempo[15][16] and R&B and ambient ballad, with influences of soul and jazz.[17][18][19][20] The song features electric piano, guitars, and drums.[21] Craig Jenkins of Vulture described its melody as reminiscent of soul blues songs and old Disney films' music.[22] "My Future" has been compared to Eilish's cover of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny",[22] as well as the works of Jorja Smith and Corinne Bailey Rae.[17] It opens with a slow and melancholic melody,[23] transitioning midway into an upbeat production with a percussive rhythm.[24][25][26] Coco Romack of MTV News felt that the latter part of the song was summery.[23]

Lyrically, "My Future" serves as an ode to self-love and personal power.[23][27] Coco Romack of MTV wrote that it "claps back at the notion that one must be validated by outside affection".[23] Chris Willman of Variety stated that the song was about "leaving a narcissistic significant other behind to concentrate on achieving goals on one's own".[28] The song begins almost entirely a capella, as Eilish sings about walking away from a relationship to put herself first: "I've changed my plans/Cause I/I'm in love/With my future".[29][26] "I'm in love with my future/Can't wait to meet her/I'm in love, but not with anybody else/Just want to get to know myself", Eilish sings through jazz-inspired vocals before a "funky" bassline appears.[30] The song ends on voice and keyboards, with the line: "I'll see you in a couple years".[17]

Music video

edit

Background and synopsis

edit
 
Many journalists compared the music video's aesthetic to that of anime; some said it was reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films.

An animated music video for "My Future" was directed by Australian director Andrew Onorato, and released on Eilish's official YouTube channel the same day as the single.[17][26] It was produced by Australian animation company Chop Studio.[62] The video was animated by Alex Dray, Andrew Onorato, Annie Zhao, Cliona Noonan, Nancy Li, and Sarah Schmidt.[63] The visual has been described as "anime in nature".[64]

The visual tells a story of a young woman "coming into her own".[15] In it, an animated Billie symbolizes a relationship she's walking away from. She wanders alone through a Studio Ghibli-inspired, psychedelic forest in the rain while contemplating about her future.[16][29][65] When the second verse comes around, the sun comes out and the forest begins to bloom, as trees engulf Eilish and lift her up to the sky.[26][66][67]

Critical reception

edit

The animated video was positively received by critics upon release. Jackson Langford of NME called it a "gorgeous animated affair",[26] while Ann Powers of NPR stated Eilish is a "fairy tale heroine" and that the video "dwells within the magic cultivated by an autonomous young woman who's ready to claim her future as it comes".[17] Ronia Aniftos, writing for Billboard, commented that "[as] [the] sun comes out and the greenery begins to bloom exponentially, [so] [does] Eilish's career continues to do in real life".[66] Kirsten Acuna of Insider viewed the visual as a "beautifully animated music video".[24] Jessica Wang, writing for Bustle magazine, compared the visual to the works of Hayao Miyazaki, with movies such as: Spirited Away (2001), My Neighbor Totoro (1998), and Kiki's Delivery Service (1989).[63] In a less enthusiastic review, Time Out magazine writer Emma Steen noted the video "lack[s] the finesse of a Ghibli anime", but said it is a "mesmerising visual".[62]

Live performances and other usage

edit

Eilish performed the song for the first time on the third night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.[68] A few days later, she and Finneas played the song for NPR's "Tiny Desk (Home) Concert".[69][70] Eilish performed the song at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in December 2020, with Finneas playing the piano and providing background vocals.[71] In September 2020, American singer Miley Cyrus covered the song for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge while surrounded by candles and a masked band.[72][73][74]
